I picked up a very important quarter plate daguerreotype of a home in New England for less than $10 that was listed as a damaged tintype. I had no idea what I was buying at the time but did know outside dags of houses were $500+. I researched the dag with two New England Historical Societies, and both wanted to buy it. I told both I would list it in the Sotheby's photo auction. Sotheby's declined to list it as it didn't meet their $500 minimum value (at that time) so I sold it and it went to the place where it belonged for $5000 even though it was worth more. So many times, over the years the big guys have been clueless about value.

1999.
Same year I received my first computer.
Selling Griffey RC’s helped me get through college.

Since January 1999.

I was at the Live Guernsey's Auction in NYC late 1998 when they auctioned all the major Big Mac & Sosa HR Balls from the '98 season that just finished (I was in the front row when McFarlane won the 70th HR ball...pretty exhilarating auction). Anyway, there was a small table in the corner promoting their website, so I picked up a press kit folder they were giving out (still have it)...it was eBay.
