Craziest thing you ever discovered on a card

For me it would probably be finding the only known Tango Eggs card with a ghost image.

A little bit of a stretch but when my now wife and I were dating as part of a birthday present to me for my 33rd birthday she gave me $33 in PayPal to buy something fun for my collection. After searching for a while I found a low grade card that I always wanted. A 1953 Bowman Pee Wee Reese. Amazingly I won it for $33 with free shipping. It was only after I received the card that I realized the card number in the set is also 33.

Cool story Drew. I hope you still have the card.

wow a 53 Bowman Reese for $33 is pretty awesome regardless of condition. My all-time favorite card. There's also a good chance he's 33 years old in the image too.

You need to realize that Drew (Hi Drew), being born in 1920, was already 33 years of age when he bought the card in 1953. He's 96 now. Paypal or not, this is a true anachronistic phenomenon eek:

Ironic considering today is my actual birthday. Not sure what that makes me with your figures. (Actually 45 today). And yes, I still own that card. First one of many that my amazing wife is responsible for.

it would likely not get a number grade since it so well matches the brown that they think it is covering up paper loss.
