Did this really just happen?

[Kraft7014]

So I have been on the hunt for an Eddie Murray autograph in Tribe uniform for quite some time now. There are not many of them. The most common is from 2001 Topps Finest and I believe there is also 1 or 2 from a recent Topps Sterling release. I have seen a few of the Finest pop-up on ebay over the past months, generally going for $50-$60+ and escaping my grasp..

And then I stumbled across a copy on ebay for a Buy It Now of $25 today!!! Amazing, right?

So, naturally, I bought it immediately. Then I started looking through his other auctions and he has two other Murray autographs (1997 Donruss Signature Millennium and 2001 UD Legendary Lumber GU/AUTO) for $25 each too.

I had to pick up all three. There aren't any recent copies of the Donruss Signature that have sold and are currently none on ebay. There is only one copy of the UD AUTO/GU, with a Buy It Now of $80.

Maybe being stuck in front of the computer with the cold isn't as bad as I thought it was...

Congratulations your great buys! Know how you feel.... 2003 timeless treasure gold card (limited to only 10) of Bo Jackson does not show up on ebay for the last 8 years.....then out of the blue two show up on ebay about the same day!! Take it easy as a few people at work came down with the cold. Which seems to last a long time...if you don't take care of yourself. Best regards, David

Sweet pickups Tom. Just checked the guy's other auctions and he has 2 more nice autos with a $25 BIN. Wished he had a Mets auto because I woulda snagged one of those up for my collection.

I guess thats proof that you never give up, keep trying, keep looking and eventually, it will come!

Congrats! I love those luck stories. Didn't know Eddie played for CLE for a few years (just looked up his stats). I wasn't paying much att'n to baseball during the 90s when I was in college. I see he also played for LAD, NYM and LAA (only 46 games...I wonder if there's any LAA GU or auto card for him... )

Thanks, everyone!.. I will be very glad when it arrives, to finally have one in my collection. Too bad he didn't have a 1999 Topps Traded Autographs CC Sabathia for $25 too...

Thanks for the heads up, I bought two of his listings. 2 Murray autos for $50, can't beat it.

Jack,

Great deal, right?! He was definitely less than ambitious with his Buy It Nows.. Works for me! He still has that Donruss Threads #'ed to 25 for $30.

Thanks for the heads up, I bought two of his listings. 2 Murray autos for $50, can't beat it.

Yes, great deals. Love it when sellers have reasonable Buy It Now prices.

Yes, great deals. Love it when sellers have reasonable Buy It Now prices.

Amen! Waiting for the guy selling a 2008 ud heroes Roger Clemens auto serial #5 has it at BIN for $320.00.....for the last 2 months....waiting for him to lower it. Some people never learn. Best regards, David
