Post your best (or worst) Ebay "Surprise"

[FUBAR]

this was way back when ebay started,

there was a listing for "Two very old black and white baseball cards"

i emailed the seller and asked what two names were on the card...
Satchel Paige and someone else i cant remember.

I asked for a picture of said cards. She couldnt provide a picture....back then, this wasnt that uncommon.

I then asked if there was a date listed anywhere on the card... she said she was an old lady and her eye sight wasnt good to read the small print on the back. She just wanted to get rid of them cause they reminder her of her late husband.

SO i won the auction for $32 i think it was.

I received the cards in the mail and written on the back in huge font that covered the entire card....

"reprint
of
original
card"
1992 TCMA

to say the least i felt duped.....

Now for a positive one...

I bought a generic lot of hockey cards listed as "My hockey cards from when i was a kid" i think i paid 7 $ for the lot.

When the cards arrived, there was about $3500 worth of cards including some i had graded like my Bossy RC which went for a BGS 8.5 and a 72 Dionne which graded an 8 i think it was.... but also a ton of other rc's and star cards from 69 to 82 in great shape.... i couldnt believe i bought the lot for 7$ or 12$ with shipping.
