What cards have surprised you?

I was surprised by these 3 cards, won in an action in the 1980's thru SCD for $265.00.

About 13 years ago I won a lot of 26 E126 cards from Sports Collector's Digest auction by Coach's Corner. I had never seen the cards before and I was surprised they were bigger than other caramel cards.

So Coach's Corner used to sell legitimate cards? That's the biggest surprise of all.

I have been surprised a few times when buying an item from a seller in Ohio on ebay which turned out to be real upon receipt.

Wonderful borders on the green and bat-off Cobbs.

When you get them in person, some issues are higher quality than you expected and some are lesser. Considering the many cheapo Post WWII team issues and such, a pleasant surprise that comes to mind is 1967 Dexter Press. Nice, good looking premium.

The 1926 Sports Co. of America cards surprised me the first time I saw them. I alwas assumed they were E120/E121 sized cards, maybe just a little wider. But instead they are relatively tiny things, about the size of a Tattoo Orbit but narrower. Still very cool.
