My eyes hurt from scouring ebay and constantly checking the auction prices realized site to see if anything I was looking at could be had for a decent bargain after the discount. Ended up grabbing a PSA 6 1966 Mantle and a PSA 7OC Ryan rookie.

I looked and looked and couldn't find anything.

One caveat, it won't work on all categories, just under the sports heading, which includes sports cards. I bought a Non-sports card and it won't take the code. I will just wait until sunday and use the new code which should cover everything.

Saweet! Worked for me + 8% ebay bucks. Thank you!

Does anyone know when the 8% ebay bucks promotion expires?

The ebay bucks thing drives me crazy. I am signed up for the notifications, but I never get the notifications people here are always talking about. What the heck am I missing?? All the right boxes are checked, yet I get nothing sent to me. Once in a blue moon, I get a message on ebay, from ebay, alerting me of an ebay bucks promotion, but that's it.

I had the same issue. I asked eBay customer service why I was never included in the promos and was always told that users were picked at random. I asked 3 or 4 times over the course of about 2 years. The last time I finally talked to someone that actually wanted to help. She suggested that I chance the email address that I had attached to my eBay account. She said that somewhere along the line eBay had an issue with my email address. A lot of the emails I used to get from eBay went into my spam folder for some reason. This probably had something to do with the issue. Anyway, I created a gmail email account just for eBay. Since changing the email address I have gotten almost all of the Bucks promo emails. Even now I usually get notifications by checking my eBay messages on the eBay site before I get the promo emails on my gmail account

I saw that Ryan card and almost went for it. What price did you get it for?

It's weird, I didn't know what the price 'should' be, but when I saw the card (including shipping, it was listed for around $423) I instinctively thought, "Even without the discount, that seems like a pretty good price for a relatively solid, high grade Ryan rookie." It was the only 7 OC listed on ebay and when I looked at a ton of straight 5's and 6's for comparison, they were all seemingly priced much higher than that (some ridiculously so) and had virtually the same centering as the one I was looking at, although oddly enough, none had qualifiers (see the many examples/ebay screenshots posted below)...so I did some quick research on pricing and decided to jump on it.

The adjusted price was around $360.

The last 5 sales of PSA 7 OC's were:
$469.99
$290.00
$400.00
$450.00
$800.00

It was still pretty damn expensive, but a decent grab nonetheless, because straight 7's are priced so much further up in the ionosphere.

I got the SGC 3 Ryan. Been wanting that card for over 30 years and finally pulled the trigger. I actually paid less than what the eBay sale shows as he sent me an offer after I messaged him. I’m surprised eBay doesn’t reflect that. Either way I was south of $190 with the coupon. It was in line with other comps but an additional $18 in eBay bucks made it a pretty nice deal.
