I have told it many times but my best find ever started with a raw E90-2 Wagner on ebay. The guy had a -1 feedback (yes negative). He had his grandfather's originally collected collection. There were around 750? cards I bought from him. All new to the hobby and at least 1 uncategorized from a relatively popular, but obscure set, Texas Tommy's. It can happen but less so in current times. That episode was 17 years ago.
Here is a thread about it....post number 8
