rmacpaperhaps a bit off topic, but the five most amazing items i have seen posted to ebay were in no particular order:
1. 1870 autographed warren cabinet of harry wright won by josh leland. according to a reliable source, the ebay seller had stolen the card and the authorities subsequently had to confiscate it from josh.
2. the 3 hancock cards sold by browncreeper to jay miller
3. 1912 boston garter walter johnson (only 1 known to exist) sold by miller antiques to terry knouse who subsequently traded it for 2 just so tobacco commons.
4. joe jackson in batting stance wearing greenville uniform real photo postcard captioned "joe jackson, greenville boy now with philadelphia" postmarked in greenville, sc in 1908.
5. walter johnson wearing weiser idaho uniform real photo postcard captioned "walter johnson, weiser wonder"
i would be curious to know what similar items others have come across.
