In my oddball collection that Ive been building for the past 15 years or so, Im down to about a dozen cards missing. One in particular is from a little set issued by McDonalds for the 1970 Wichita Aeros. 18 cards, black and white set....it appears to be pretty dull, from what I can tell. Lo and behold, a whole set comes up on eBay this week. I only need one card, but I figure I can buy it and sell of the remainder of the set. I might take a hit, but.....we do these things to get the harder cards. Within the first day or two, bidding jumps up to $25 bucks or so and my antenna goes up that "something might not be as expected". I figured $25 was going to be the top end of the selling range. Little did I know. The set contains Chris Chambliss and Dick Tidrow, but I guess Im missing something because it closed tonight at $355.
