Biggest steal you ever saw on ebay?

Posted By: T206Collector

...was about a year and a half ago. I BIN'ed a mixed lot of pre-war cards for, I think it was, $280. The lot contained a PSA 4 T206 Keeler portrait, a raw T206 Bresnahan w/ bat, a Topps T206 Buyback of Tinker Bat Off, a strip card of Ty Cobb, a strip card of Tris Speaker, a few common T205's, including 2 or 3 Topps buybacks, and one or two other common black and white strip cards. Well, I later sold the Keeler for $200; the Bresnahan graded an SGC 70 and is part of my permanent collection; the strip cards got me about $100-$120 total; I still have the T205's; and about two weeks ago I sold the Tinker Buy Back on ebay for over $400. That was a good find -- the kind of find that makes you pat yourself on the back and tell yourself that you must be the smartest most cleverest baseball card collector in the world. And the kind of find that makes you check the new listings on ebay once an hour or more.
