A year or two ago I picked up a raw Matty Pinkerton postcard on ebay for $2.00. Granted, it had a pinhole at the top and some writing on the back, but I still thought it was a steal.
The postcard dealer didn't seem to have a clue as to what she had. BTW, it is still raw - I like graded cards, but I didn't think it was necessary to have SGC tell me it was a 10 when I knew it already!
I also picked up a Canadian Goudey Gehringer on Ebay a few months ago. It just came back from SGC as an 80. It wasn't really a bargain, but it is pretty unusual for any wide pen to grade an 80.
