Some autos I won at a local auction for $10

The best thing about this thread, for me, is that I have blocked bullshit (I think that's his name, right?) so I am unable to see his posts, and seeing the "This user is on your Ignore List" note makes me smile

Serious note

Everyone and their brother knows "you can make money selling sports collectibles."

There is not one auction where there isn't at least one person willing to take a risk. This post proves it. Had there been an underbidder, or even a shill, this would have gone higher on the allure "one could be real".

The advent of ebay, news stories real and fake, online auction platforms etc have made it 99% impossible for any items to go unnoticed. More so for a novice collector.

So take this advice, as I put in my 2 cents, it's worth what you paid for it .

It's hard to cheat an honest man
If its too good to be true, it probably isn't.


And all the others you've heard your whole life

sometimes if it is to good to be true, it isn't. I just bought something from this same auction that I bought for $2 and sold for $400.. any idea on if the wheaties mantle that I found there is genuine or not?

The block feature is a beautiful thing. Be nice to have one in real life.
