Got a 52 Bowman Mays, missing a small piece of a corner but nice looking, for around $50 a few years ago. That was a steal even then. Found a T206 Young (hand showing) in an antique shop on the east coast on a work trip, paid $50 and traded it quickly. Would love the other Young pitching, not a big fan of the image on the no glove card.

And then I got this, my biggest bargain by a long shot, a couple weeks ago for $100 after Uncle Sam got his cut. This is the boxing T card equivalent of finding 8 pre-production T206 Wagner's on a sheet. Which mean's its worth way less than 1% of those Wagners, but it's a heck of a bargain.
What in the ever-loving F(&@^)#&^@!!! You just bought sheets of T220 silvers for $100??? Everyone else loses. Forever.

EDIT: Please share any story and tons of pics. My jaw is on the floor.
