I was going to put an e92 Mathewson I got off ebay for $65 BIN about 10 years ago but there were too many T206's already so I decided to keep everything uniform. Sorry about the other cards in the scan, but the best was the Magie for $1775 whenever I got it ($275 was paid by my dad as a Christmas present so it cost me $1500)

12 years ago bought raw Marquard CJ for $200, didn't even know then which year. Turns out it was 1914 and PSA graded it a 7 -- then and now highest grade for the card. So value up a bit.

Bought this T205 Moran raw for $69.00 on ebay a couple years ago, which is my best deal. Proudly posted on this site only to have one of the board members contact the seller and let them know what they had. The seller immediately let me know who contacted them. I was surprised that someone (who I shall not out) was that childish. Lesson learned though.
Purchased the T205 Mathewson before the craze at a great price. My wife's best card purchase for me was this Joe Jackson. It was sold raw and she was on eggshells not knowing if it was authentic or not? Turned out to be a good pickup and my favorite that isn't leaving my collection. r/ Frank

That's a tough question. Does best purchase mean the toughest item I've gotten? The biggest differential between paid price and card value? The one I waited for the longest? I can't decide...
I got this 1928 PCL Earl Averill on the cheap at a local show:  Pulled this out of a miscellaneous junk box at a show:  This card routinely goes over $100 due to the Lon Chaney fans; got it for $5 at a show:  This wasn't cheap--around $90--but Capital Candy athletes are about as tough as Mono Cigarettes baseball cards:  Only 1 of these has surfaced thus far in all my years of boxing card collecting and I got it on Ebay before anyone realized how rare it was:  The 4 on 1 Exhibit cards with this art are tough; the strip cards made from the same art are nearly impossible, but I have one; never seen another, though I have seen 3-4 cuts from the Exhibit cards:  How do I know it is a strip? Besides being on different stock, the set was mixed sport and nonsport and these surfaced:

More than T cards
Chicago National, 1999. The dealer had two, and I passed on the second one because now I had that hole filled in my type set. I think I spent the money on a Diamond Star.
