RC McKenzie..around 1998 there were some incredible cards on ebay that did not 'disappear'. I remember waiting for a Holland Creameries Peckinpaugh that was listed that I noticed was not in Lemke's book at the time. This was before snipe services and ebay watch lists. The card was at around $275, but I was afraid to pull the trigger. Some guy named 'can of primo' won it for around $300. I let a Chase bl 460 go by the boards for under $400 as well as a few unc t214's. Finally, I pulled the trigger for $750 for an n172 Connie Mack throwing card from curly777. It was 10 x the amount of any card I had ever bought. I sold off much of my prior collection to fund the purchase. About 6 weeks later I saw other cards I wanted so I listed the n172 Mack on ebay. John from fullcount won it for about 850 and I was really happy to have turned a profit. He emailed me and stated that he had been looking for that pose for 20 years. Ebay is a blast and I have too many war stories to relate here. regards..
Great pick up Patrick, congrats
