Default Worst Experience Collecting

Posted By: Ken W.

Early in my prewar collecting:

I bought two CJ's for $60 per off of eBay. The players were Honus Wagner and Eddie Plank! Do you think they were real? I then bought an OJ John Ward, an OJ Billy Hamilton, and a Mayo Dan Brouthers from another seller and paid a total of $112. Again, what was I thinking? Lastly, I was one of the idiots who fell for those stupid Whitman Puzzle "cards" that are always being sold by that guy who has his own bogus grading company, AAA! Oh yeah, there was the Mayo Cap Anson that looked like it went through the wash 'n' spin cycle (so as to hide the fact it was from that 1986 reprint set (of which I think should be outlawed). In all of these, I have only been screwed about $400 total so I won't cry anymore.
