What's your most exciting ebay win?
 
Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>It's not often when you finally knock an item off the top of your wantlist. It's been a long while since I have been able to do it. It's extra sweet when the item is rarely seen and the example is in great shape. I know I'll remember this Easter quite fondly. I'm glad I was the underbidder on the only other one I have ever seen. This one was worth the wait, since it is a super clean example without pinholes!<br /><br />Here's my newest and perhaps sweetest ebay WIN...Chief Meyers Philadelphia Evening Times Supplement. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1176076797.JPG"> <br /><br />What's your most exciting ebay win?<br /><br />Patrick<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>i won a T202 of Matty graded PSA 7 for $300 off Ebay. When the stock market started to rise i decided to sell it a few months later for $500. Wish i kept it, but still made money on stocks.

Posted By: <b>George Dreher</b><p>Probably the most exciting was back in 1998. Someone listed a Grover Alexander single-signed baseball in the wrong category, under "antiques". It wasn't even listed under "sports". Got it for $100 and resold it for $5000.

Posted By: <b>Jim Dale</b><p>It was not me; dang it; but someone bought all the rights to "Speed Racer" back in the early days of eBay - 1998 I think - for $33k

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>It has to be this card.<br /><br />Anyone going after the T200 set would appreciate the feeling of seeing this card pop up as a buy-it-now.<br /><br />I couldn't click fast enough.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.internetville.com/images/albums/userpics/10001/T200bostonNat.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>This extremely rare book put out by Guy Green, owner of the Nebraska Indians team. It was a 10 day auction and I happened upon it in the first hour it was listed...that was an almost excruciating 10 days.<br /><br /><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Baseball%20in%20Nebraska/NebraskaIndiansACH.jpg">

Posted By: <b>RC McKenzie</b><p>..around 1998 there were some incredible cards on ebay that did not 'disappear'. I remember waiting for a Holland Creameries Peckinpaugh that was listed that I noticed was not in Lemke's book at the time. This was before snipe services and ebay watch lists. The card was at around $275, but I was afraid to pull the trigger. Some guy named 'can of primo' won it for around $300. I let a Chase bl 460 go by the boards for under $400 as well as a few unc t214's. Finally, I pulled the trigger for $750 for an n172 Connie Mack throwing card from curly777. It was 10 x the amount of any card I had ever bought. I sold off much of my prior collection to fund the purchase. About 6 weeks later I saw other cards I wanted so I listed the n172 Mack on ebay. John from fullcount won it for about 850 and I was really happy to have turned a profit. He emailed me and stated that he had been looking for that pose for 20 years. Ebay is a blast and I have too many war stories to relate here. regards..<br /><br />Great pick up Patrick, congrats

Posted By: <b>Ray</b><p>Bought this for less than $400 not too long ago. Not a bad price in my opinion since a PSA 7 that was O/C sold for over $4500 a few weeks ago. <br /><br /><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b63/gotsparks09/1934-36%20Diamond%20Stars/1Grove.jpg">

Posted By: <b>David Smith</b><p>Bought these Yale Murphy cards in either 1998 or 1999 from two different sellers. College photo was with a group of other Pach Brother photos of Yale students. Newsboy was in with a group of Newsboy actress cabinet cards.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1176085231.JPG"> <br /><br /><br />David
