Your Best Raw Card Success Story

Around 2000 I bought a large lot of T206's, in there were a number of rare backs including Red Hindu, Hindu, and Broadleaf. I paid around $20/card for the lot, but was very pleased with the result.

I got lucky on a listing last year where an ebay seller listed this- 1974 Exhibit Card- Babe Ruth Reprint

Here is the card-

Wow, buying a "reprint" that turned out to be authentic, cool story!

I think there are still 8 "rare backs" in that group I hope to someday get my hands on.
