In 1998, I just discovered Ebay and I won a lot of all 48 T206 Southern Leaguers. My wife wanted to kill me because she had to place the bid because I had to go to a meeting at the time the auction was to end. She said "how much do you want me to bid". When I returned home from my meeting and realized that I had won the lot for $1825, I immediately started listing the 48 Southern Leaguers that I had in my collection. I ended up selling my cards for around $1300, which means I upgraded my cards for about $500.

When I received the lot of Southern Leaguers I was thrilled with the condition of the cards. They were much nicer than the scan on ebay. This is about the time I decided to get my nicer T206's graded by SGC because I like the look in their holder, so I gradually got all 48 graded by them. Only 6 cards came back lower than SGC 60 with, 1-88, 4-86, 1-84, and 5-80. Wish I could come across more deals like that.
