This one is so old that I had nearly forgotten about it:
Early days of eBay, which for me would have been probably 2000 or '01. Maybe even before I got married.
I ran across a lower grade '59 Mantle #10 that looked strange to me, so I zoomed in on the pics. It was a Venny, listed as a regular. It was there for all to see in the pics, but I guess I was the only one who picked up on it.
Bought it for like $40, which is what the regular Topps card in G-ish condition went for then - and a few months later sold it for more than $500. I would hate to see what that card would go for now, but at the time I was very glad to take the profit.
