I'm just curious to see what treasures and great bargains everyone on this board has found. Now I don't want any bragging or competiton here kids. I just want to see how many great deals have been found on ebay. I'm sure you can brake this Top 5 list into many categories like Top 5 BIN's, Top 5 Snipes, and so on. I just want your top five over all. Monetary value dosn't necessarily play a hugh roll here, but it's always a nice bonus. Well I'll start it off. |

My off the top of my head picks for great eBay 'finds', where the seller had no clue to what he/she had include the Mathewson photo Scott mentioned (which, despite Scott's suspisions, I do not own). Also a N338-2 SF Hess Curt Welch. The seller was consigning it for an elderly neighbor, and the elderly neighbor was hoping to get $10 for it. |

Paul, Seaver pitched in Cincinnati for six St. Patrick Days, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were more than one. I no longer own the jersey (1981 I think was), so maybe you own the same one. |

Most of these were from a guy that had an auction I won recently that I posted about but nevertheless would not have attained them without ebay. |

1.) 1869 Peck & Snyder Cincinnati Red Stockings CDV - Seller had a starting bid of $20K. When no one bid on it, I was able to get it for much, much less. It has one of the nicest images in the hobby. |

I'm not an avid eBay buyer, but the neatest thing I ever bought on eBay was Tom Seaver's Cincinnati Reds Green St. Patricks Day Jersey, signed in green by Seaver. |

I purchased a John Bond Francisco turn of the century painting that no one bid on because they were afraid it was fake! After talking to the owner of it about five times,I hit the reserve of $2200.00 seconds prior to the auction closing..........I sold the painting in a Butterfield's auction for $49,000.00 That was my best find on e-bay! I also purchased a group of 14 "raw" N-162's for $95.00 each. The worse one came back PSA -6 and the best one was SGC 92.I sold two of them to cover the cost and still have the remaining 12.Two are PSA-8 horizontals and one is a hall of famer. |

My top item was a copy of the 1939 United States Card Collectors Catalog, one of only 500 copies printed. I picked it up for $2.50 (plus $2.50 shipping) because it was listed in the wrong category and incorrectly described. When it arrived, I found that neatly tucked in the back was Vol. 2, No. 1 of Burdicks Card Collectors Bulletin newsletter... the seller never even mentioned it. |

My best baseball card finds have to include the proofs of Frank Chance NY AL and Johnny Kling Bos. As stated before, these two proofs appear to be E95/96s but have different later team names. The consensus is that they were proofs for a later caramel set which was never issued. The 3rd proof resides in the collection of Keith Olbermann and I believe it is a Davis, also purchased for a song on ebay. |

I was looking through my tobacco album collection the other day and ran into an ebay find that I had forgotten about. I've collected tobacco albums for a while now and for several years, the only Allen & Ginter album I needed was the Floral Beauties album (which lists for $10 in the ACC). I've seen 2 or 3 for sale over the years (none in very good condition), but things just didn't work out for whatever reason. A couple of years ago I bought one on ebay described as being in excellent condition. If I remember right, he only had 1 grainy picture of it, and had it worded so strangely that I was lucky to run into it. Don't remember what I paid for it (it wasn't a steal, although I thought so when I got it, maybe $500, could have been a little more, really don't remember, but had a big bid in at the time on it). Well, when I got it I was flabberghasted (sp?), original mailing envelope and a mint condition very much oversized album. Super super nice. This has got to be my #2 best find. Can't believe I forgot about this one. |

As a side to my earlier post about the A & G Floral Beauties album, lot #287 in the auction is a page from the album, thats why I had occasion to get mine out. It also gives you an idea of its size, described in the catalog as a large 7 3/4 X 11' premium. Keith |
