Steals that nobody went after!!
I enjoy the threads of people finding gems at thrift stores and flea markets, but how about this: steals that were right out in the open! Deals that we all had a chance at, but nobody else pulled the trigger.
For example: in a pretty well-known (but not huge) auction house, there was a listing for a group of 11 store model bats. But in the picture was obviously a gamer: this Charlie Neal early 60's LV. I won the whole lot for about $150 including the shipping and juice. I sold off the store models for about $200 on ebay, leaving me with a FREE bat from a fairly popular Brooklyn Dodger/LA WS Champ/Negro Lg player/Original Met.
Anyone else have any to share?
