Not as exotic or lucrative as a Tommy Bond letter, but I remember when I won a lot of 25 identical Phantom World Series Tickets from one of the major auction houses. I wasn't sure what tickets were worth, but thought it was a decent price. I put one ticket on eBay and it sold for what I paid for all 25. I put a second on eBay and it sold for the same amount. I had doubled my money and still had 23 tickets left. The rest sold similarly-- though selling them one per week or more meant I had Phantom World Series tickets on my shelf. That I hadn't gotten the lot from a garage sale or flea market but a major auction house is what made it striking.
