One of mine was a 1973 topps 150 card lot of "commons". Granted most of them were commons, the lot contained

5 Nolan Ryans
4 Reggie Jacksons
5 Carl yastrzemskis
2 bob gibsons
2 loud brocks

Total cost was 19.99 plus 5.00 s/h

I bought a Dallas Cowboys autograph lot last year Buy It Now for $40. It included pack-pulled autographs of Roger Staubach, Tony Dorsett, Michael Irvin, Harvey Martin, Ken Norton, Larry Allen, Chuck Howley, Danny White, Drew Pearson and more. I think I priced it out and the sell value on all of them together was over $200.

It's impossible for me to just pick one..

500ish hobby packs (over a case - I forget the exact number) 2005 topps series 1 for $80. The guy even dropped them off in person. I had a lot of fun busting a box worth a day for over a week.

Someone's collection which came in 6+ 900 card boxes.. I got a lot more than I was expecting to get. it was filled with premium cards, inserts, #'d, stars etc.. a few thousand dollars worth for around $40.

1999 Topps Tek sealed box for $20

1997 Topps Stars sealed box for $15

Mine's not nearly as good, but was a "lot of sets" that had a pretty bad description and picture. Looked like 4 classic sets and two of the Ted williams and a SP of some sort. Got it for $15 and the other set was the 1994 SP set w/Arod foil rc.

Mine would have to be a 1954 Red Man Tobacco Gil Hodges for $18, sent to PSA for grading, came back a 7.5, sold for $158.

Best eBay steal was finding a 2009 Topps Magic Matthew Stafford auto when it first came out for $9.99 BIN. Immediately put it back on eBay and sold it for $81.

Best overall steal was this,which I sold for $415:



Paid $15 for it at a card show

bblair-Why does that card sell for so much?

Beats me but all I could tell you is that 2010 Razor Poker was a really popular product and I've been on message boards where folks were opening cases of these like we break boxes of 2012 Topps on here.

Sure Shannon's a hottie and she has many other autographs available,but her poker autographs just seem to be more popular than the others. Maybe the card I picked up was a SP compared to others.......I don't really know. It helped fund my case of 2010 Rittenhouse Heroes Archives so I won't complain a bit

Best ebay steal has to be one of the early 90s UD Ted Williams autos. Seller had a couple different players for $100 each and the Hank Aaron sold not long after I bought the Williams.

Recently picked this up too, which I feel could have sold for $100 more:
