This isn't exactly recent, but 2 or 3 years ago there was a very nice grouping of W553's which aren't exactly common cards. The group contained three different uncut strips including a Ruth and Gehrig. I don't remember what the final price was, but it was waaaaay lower than the cards are worth. They were in a scapbook and the winner soaked them out and presented them to the board in the following thread.

Perhaps he could repost the images if he sees this.
I was watching this lot and forgot to put a snipe on them. I was kicking myself for weeks!
Anyways, I definately think you can still find deals on eBay.
Best regards,
