How about non baseball
1) Bought a magazine collection that had a "shmoo balloon" in it - almost thew it out - decided to try it on ebay (the first item I ever listed) started it at 25 cents it sold for $25
2) Bought what turned out to be a rare pepsi sign from a garbage man - $25 - had to think about it and almost passed. Sold on ebay years later for $2500
3) At a baseball card show bought a Charlies Angels doll display for ~$25 sold later for $1500
4) Same show and dealer as the doll display - bought 3 non sport full boxes for about $20 each sold between $500 and $1000 each.
