I often pick up cards that the seller doesn't know about; a benefit of being into some niche items. However, on the risk-reward scale this is one that comes to mind:



I'd been looking for a Dr. J RC for a while and came across this one, raw, for $90. I assumed it was possibly trimmed, damaged, fake, whatever, but the seller was local and there was the eBay/PayPal refund thing so I took the risk. The card looked great, measured out, etc., so I sent it to PSA and got back the 8. Still have it, BTW.

Back in May I found a 1st game program/scorecard from the Expos 1st Home opener in 1969 Online , while I was at the older gentleman's house he showed me another program/scorecard cover from 1969 against the Pirates , he got the autograph himself back in 1969 , I offered him $225 and he accepted ,Here is the autograph ,I found a cool picutre of Roberto signing autographs at Jarry Park and got both framed together.

I am in the middle of an ill advised risk on a scrapbook containing some questionable and damaged Goudey cards I'll tell you in a week if it was worth it...
