Paid just over $200 for this rare mini:




My all time best score though was this signed Grover Alexander baseball. How much did I pay? $80:

Seem to remember I guy 4 or 5 years ago posting a number of items on ebay and among them were 5 or so N 167`s in pretty good shape starting at like 9.99. Always liked that issue but $$$$$$$$$$$.

A number of years ago one of our members posted 3-4 N167's for his dad, Dr.James Lowe. They were listed on ebay as regular auction sales. It was quite a night when they ended and I was fortunate to walk away with the Ewing in the bunch, which another member later bought from me from our BST in the first ever Live Auction on the BST....and probably the most expensive sale on there too (50k+). Those were the days.

No doubt the Trucker Boy find was my best ebay score but this ambrotype from last year was pretty good too. And a dealer wanted it way more than I did, and bought it, but it's a great photo wherever it resides. And a type not likely to be seen again for a while (I had no idea how rare they were when I got it.)

I could definitely see that get past someone who wouldn’t recognize it as baseball.

I might be wrong, but I think there was an E135 Collins-McCarthy Ruth that sold for $8,000. (buy-it-now) on Ebay within the past year.

Nothing too crazy, but I got a T213 Coupon Type 1 two years ago BINed for just $80. Seller had a ton of Type 2s and didn't know the difference.

Last year I picked up a 1911 Pitsburg Season ticket book with a few tickets left inside with game numbers only inside. Did some research and found out one of those tickets was to Cy Young's last win.

Not the craziest pick up but definitely my best; I picked up a T206 Sweeney "no B" for $100 a year or two ago on ebay.

Several years ago I picked up this cabinet card of the Findlay baseball team which included Bud Fowler and Home Run Johnson. It was a $35 BIN. It later went to a fellow Net54er.
