Whats your best card purchase?

Chicago National, 1999. The dealer had two, and I passed on the second one because now I had that hole filled in my type set. I think I spent the money on a Diamond Star.

$38

Just last week I was able to find, for only $2, a complete factory set of the inaugural issue from Score. This groundbreaking set features many action photos, full color backs including another player photo, an included 56 trivia magic motion cards!

But my best deal was probably a lot of 1983 topps cards I got off of ebay one night last year. For some reason the seller did not list in the title the Ripken rookie or the two HOF pre-war cards included in the photo. The winning bid was more than I'd pay for ink-stained '83s, but much less than what the other cards were worth. It was only a few months into my pre-war collecting days and I had already gotten great deals on a Gold Medal Foods Medwick and a couple other ones. I thought getting good deals was going to be easy. Now I think it was beginners luck.

Probably these. The Cobb was $20, the Hannifan probably $2-3. I got a Nattress at the same time, but no scan.

There's a few others, but those are probably the best moneywise.

The small batch of Sl blank backs, the Dominion chocolates baseball player, and the T49s are other favorites.

A Buck for the Hub... (Well, not exactly....)

I snagged a small lot of 15-20 cards in an auction last year, for one card (T211 Hub) that was buried in the auction lot, and quickly sold off the parts at market value putting me at a buck for this very rare card among the Red Sun toughies.
