Rob FouchI'm also a small fish, but once won a poorly marked, bad-category T206 card (can't even remember who it was) and then asked the guy if he had more. He did and e-mailed me digital photos of about 20 cards, including a red Cobb and a red Chance. The photos weren't great but the cards still looked pretty nice. There were a few Old Mill backs mixed in.
We e-mailed back and forth and he seemed like a nice guy. I offered him $1500, which was really more than I could afford at the time, and he took it.
There were a couple of nervous days waiting for the cards to arrive, but he did take paypal, so that gave me some measure of security.
Anyway, they arrived and were much better than the photos indicated. Cobb ended up grading PSA 4, Chance PSA 5, and I got three or four 6's among the commons, including a couple of the Old Mill backs. I figure I ended up with about $3,000 worth.
Oh, and he said he bought the cards for 50 cents apiece from some little old lady back in the mid-1970s. She had more but he said that was all the money he had at the time. I wonder what else she had.
