I was lucky enough to win an auction for a pair of tickets to the Jets/Patriots game a few weeks ago. I won them in a charity auction for the Make a Wish Foundation. They were 3 rows behind the Pats bench at about the 35 yard line and included a parking pass. I won them for $400 dollars.
I'm a Pats fan and have been since the late 60's. That was the closet, and by far, the best seats I ever had. It was a great experience. I got a couple of autos (Bourne, Pop Douglas), beautiful weather, great seats and a perfect outcome when the Patriots scored with 22 seconds left to win the game to beat our hated rival. I expected the Pats to get smoked quite honestly. This was a bucket list item for me. I'm starting to do them now that I'm getting older (66 tomorrow).
I did the "Wall" at Fenway in 2023 as another bucket list item.
A recent buy made me really happy. I bought 3 pinbacks on ebay for $16.53 including tax and shipping. I sold a damaged one for $250.00 and put the other 2 in an auction and hoping to get around $600-$700 each. So that's a nice profit.
