Cobb
My best raw buy happens to be one of Leon's favorite cards, his Big Show Candy Ty Cobb.
After winning an eBay auction, I asked the seller if he had anything else for sale, I always do. He sent me a list of cards he was trying to get rid of, and one was listed as an unknown or uncatalogued Ty Cobb. His asking price was only $150 so I bought it blind for $150, having not seen scan of it or any idea what it was. After getting it in hand and doing a bunch of research, I figured out what it was and was pretty happy with my decision. The card was later consigned to Goodwin.
I'd say it is hands down the coolest, uniquest, and rarest card I've ever had in my possession, and likely ever will.
