COMC Purchase History - What are some of your favorite deals?

[RustyGreerFan]

I enjoyed going through my COMC Purchase History this morning and recalling some of my favorite buys over the past couple of years. It also documents that infamous day that the Crusade Executive Proofs hit - Friday, April 22nd, 2011.

Try going through your history and post some of your COMC steals, deals, and favorite buys for your PC. Some of these I've sold, but some are gently nestled in the bosom of my PC.

A lady doesn't mention her conquests, but my best return was on a card that I purchased for 20 cents and sold for $150.

 

[RustyGreerFan]

Ladies have conquests? :mrgreen:

Maybe instead of mentioning the profit you could have said what card you bought for 20 cents?

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I've only ordered from there once, but I did snag an Aaron Hicks Bowman Chrome auto for $1.50. They were selling for $7 at the time.

I needed one for my PC so I was able to save a couple bucks on it.

Some of the best deals I've gotten aren't in my history because I purchased them outright for delivery as soon as I saw them.

 

[RustyGreerFan]

Awesome buys! I especially love the Diamond Axis for $13!

Weird about some of your buys not showing... I thought it showed all buys.

 

[BunchOBull]

If you just purchase without logging in, it doesn't credit it to your account. I've done that on a few instances when I didn't have the money in my COMC account and had to use paypal; if anything it only bought me 30 seconds, but that's a lifetime when dealing with rare cards. I can't tell you how many amazing deals I've missed out on after hitting the confirmation button to purchase.

 

[RustyGreerFan]

I didn't even know I could do that! I know the feeling - fingers fumbling around trying to quickly add funds to my COMC account from PayPal. It seems like an eternity...

 

[gracecollector]

Nothing too major, but thought these PC pickups were well worth the money. Sorry for big COMC scans.

$12.00 (World Series worn game jerseys)

$1.50 (Silver Refractor Redemption /100)

$15 (Dual Jersey w/Pedro Martinez /50)

$.50 (Metallized /100)

 

[CollectorsCorner]

Fun thread!

I will have to look through for some rare inserts that I bought but the only notable buy off the top of my head was a
Taijuan Walker Bowman Chrome Gold Refractor /50 for $9 Probably not a steal at the time but for what they go for now I was happy.

 

[BBCgalaxee]

Paid like $2 for this dj executive thinking it was a promo (& labeled as such)
