That would be e90-3 Hofnlan card I recently sold in the REA auction and paid a mere pitence for it on eBay. I'd also have to add my e101 Wagner that I bought as trimmed and it came back graded by SGC |

1939 Play Ball PSA 10 Waner pop 1. Paid $300--probably would sell at $5,000 or more. |

I'm pretty happy with the $40 I paid for a Tharps George Sisler (SGC graded VG+) at the recent National. I also paid about $40 a couple of years ago for a very slightly trimmed E97 Joe Kelley from a board member who was understandably disappointed with the selling price. Also a couple of years ago, I picked up an E135 blank back Heilmann for $150. My slightly trimmed Cracker Jack Wagner for about $250 was also a good deal about a year ago. Going way back, I've always been happy with the $10 I paid for my Zeenut Cochrane. |

Won a PSA4 Miller Huggins T206 portrait from James Verrill auction for $70, it crossed over to a SGC60 (after I broke it out). Sold it for close to $300. |

I bought a 1948 Leaf George Kell in GAI 4 for about $500. I broke it out and it came back PSA 5. It's probably worth 3X that. Not for sale. |

Bought the PSA 4 Cobb Batt Off for about $850. Crossed it over without cracking it out. The SGC 60 would sell for perhaps $2,000. |

Is it just me Bob or does it look like your Chance card had a dotted "Cut Here" type of line? It looks that way in the lower left corner. |

Bought 5 uncataloged cards in a Dave Festberg auction in 1997. Cobb, Wagner, Evers, Marquard and Wood. $400 total, including shipping. The Marquard never even got a bid so Dave gave it to me for the opening bid - $25. These cards had photos that looked like M101-4s, but had different fonts, finish and feel. Blank backs so no idea who produced them. |

I am not really sure what my best deal is, but I think this one is up there. I bought a near mint Carl Horner cabinet of Rube Kroh with the original glassine envelope about 2 years ago for around $30 if I remember right. You can still see some of the reprints some guy made from it on ebay. I sold it about 2 weeks later for about $3500. Last fall I bought a 1914 Cracker Jack Chance for $50 and sold it for $1250. Not bad. |
