Picked up this autograph book page of the some of the 1933 Indians, including the manager: The Big Train. This popped up on eBay with a BIN of $75.00. Luckily I stumbled on it less than an hour after it was put up for sale. I couldn't believe my luck and it turns out the guy who was selling knew nothing about baseball. |

I won in auction a collection of signed baseball letters. When I received the lot in the mail, I was more than surprised to find stack included unadvertised handwritten signed letters from Jack Glasscock (4 pages, signed twice!) and Tommy Bond (1870s pitching star). |

I have two. First up is a 1965 Mickey Mantle game issued bat, i only paid $100 for it and then sold it for $5,000. And then Memory lane sold it for $2,500. My other one is a 1950-53 Larry Berra game used bat(before Yogi) i only paid $45(for 3 bats total). I still hate myself today for selling it and ill take that hate with me to my grave. |

While this probably wasn't a steal, it maybe has the most interest here. This is a sheet of letterhead with a picture of the 1901 St. Clair Athletic Club basketball team. The players are identified. John Titus, who would later play baseball, is shown with his signature mustache in the front row to the left of the coach. It was $10 on ebay. |

This baseball diagram and rules dating from the early 1860s, is probably the most important or historical piece I have ever picked up. There is going to be some articles written about it in several different publications! The town of New Marlboro, Mass. will be exhibiting a large poster of the diagram for there 250th anniversary this year. Pretty Cool! |

A few years ago I picked up a c. 1890 Boxing Program at an Antique Paper Show. I found it buried under a bunch of other paper stuff on the table. |

About 10 years ago on eBay there was an erroneous listing for a 1954 Cleveland Indians World Series press pin that had been made into a charm. The item actually was a charm given to the players' wives in recognition of the team winning a record 111 games and advancing to the Series. I previously had seen in a Mastro auction similar cuff links and a tie bar that was presented to the players. At the time these sold in the $1,500 range. |

Not my favorite "steal" but I once got a NRMT condition Willie Mays Original Hartland for .75 cents at a garage sale. |

I'm a collector of sports board games so the steals that jump to my mind are mostly in that area. |

I've been fortunate to score several nice items for bargain prices, hence Mark's "Pull a Brock" line, but this original Kail Red Sox ashtray is numero uno. Got it off ebay about two months ago. It wasn't a ten dollar BIN miracle, but just slipped through the cracks somewhat allowing me to scoop it up for about 1/10 the actual value. |

Not as exotic or lucrative as a Tommy Bond letter, but I remember when I won a lot of 25 identical Phantom World Series Tickets from one of the major auction houses. I wasn't sure what tickets were worth, but thought it was a decent price. I put one ticket on eBay and it sold for what I paid for all 25. I put a second on eBay and it sold for the same amount. I had doubled my money and still had 23 tickets left. The rest sold similarly-- though selling them one per week or more meant I had Phantom World Series tickets on my shelf. That I hadn't gotten the lot from a garage sale or flea market but a major auction house is what made it striking. |

I snagged a piece of the orginal copper frieze from the old pre renovation Yankee Stadium about 10 years ago. It was part of sale of a warehouse full of YS material that was being sold by the J-Peterman store in NYC. They aquired it from the company that worked on the demolition of YS back in '73. Not a bad pickup for $55.00! |

I once purchased a lot of vintage programs and scorecards on Ebay for just over $200.00. To my surprise I was flipping through the 1938 World Series program and on the second page at the top it was neatly signed by Babe Ruth. As a bonus one of the scorecards was signed by Honus Wanger and Kiki Cuyler. |

Reading David's post about buying and reselling the World Series phantom tickets reminds me of a similar experience with a group of 300-400 1950s, '60s and '70s baseball pocket schedules. For a short time Mastro operated a Web site on which it offered straight sales of items, many of which seemed to be "left-overs" of buys the company made throughout the years. |

Probably my best score came about 8 years ago when I picked up this town ball bat for $20. It's made from an old rail road tool and is marked PRR. |

Despite the fact that I had to sneak this Yankee piece past my wife (those of you who are familiar, we are sort of rabid Red Sox fans), my biggest "Score" is probably an ebay purchase I made a couple of years ago: |

About 5 years ago a guy walked into the Chicago Sun Times show. He was not a collector but was there to sell a bunch of memoribilia that belonged to a family member for the past 30 years. There was a bunch of 1930s to 1950s cards but also some memorabilia. Of interest to me were three early Chicago Cubs home programs he had - 1910, 1915 and 1918. There was an old sticker on the front of the old plastic sheets they were in where the family member had written the year of the program and who the opposing team was. I needed the 1915 but he wanted to sell all three. They were all in real nice condition and I just quickly paged through them to make sure they were complete and did not have any missing or ripped pages and that the interior was as nice as the exterior. I bought the three for his price of $1,800 for all three which was pretty much retail. I needed the 1915. I already had the other two years but figured I could sell the other two for what I paid for them to some other cubs collectors I know. |
