Well probably me best deal ever was not a card purchase. it was a stamp collection.

About 4 or 5 years ago, I answered a craigslist add for a stamp collection for sale for $200.00. I decided to check it out. I drove an hour and 30 minutes to the Allentown, PA. area and made the purchase. In the very large collection was about $4,325.00 is unused United States postage stamps ready to be used for postage. I have been using them to send out my ebay sales.

I am still using them and selling lots once in a while at a discount.

Besides the unused stamps there were many other US stamps that I sold anywhere from a few dollars to about $75.00. I figure the total value of my $200.00 investment was about $6,000.00+.

Not bad considering I was out of work at the time.
