Best deal on ebay ever?? Puckett First Pitch Preview for $7

[clarkfan]

I didn't see it until it hit completed listings, so I wasn't the winner, but a HUGE score for the collector that did

Approx how much did the seller leave on the table with that one?

We'll probably find out when it gets relisted

All I can say is wow.

Someone needs to provide some context, I don't know what these cards are

Just a very rare parallel of the 1996 Aficionado Series (1st 100 cards), only available as a Web Issued Redemption (at the time time Internet wasn't that big). Some player collector's have never seen their particular player (Vizquel, Juan Gonzalez) and others have paid $200 to $400 for their player, even the lesser name players usually bring $10 to $25. Puckett is probably one of the top players in the set, so seller left a good chunk of money on the table. Even on a bad day, the Puckett is probably worth $150. A Griffey sold for $350 a year or two ago. Deals are out there though. McGwire sold recently for less than $40. I'm just jealous of the buyer that won. I would have loved to score a deal like that.

The guy who won it is a huge Puckett/Error/Promo/Oddball collector. Nice guy and total sharpshooter with rare stuff, I have no idea how he does it!

He's also one of the guys who found the uncut sheets of 1990 Upper Deck Mike Witt cards!

 

[n1astrosfn]

last two went for 255 and 247.50 :shock:

 

[Hendersonfan]

I think I've seen 2 Henderson's ever and they were upwards of $150 if I remember correctly.

That's still trumped by the guy who sold a 2001 Donruss Signature Nolan Ryan Significant Signatures Auto SP for $5. BV: $250. Flipped it for about $140.

GOOD for him!!

I'd rather see an actual PLAYER collector snag that beauty then someone (buying oddball/rare 90's *****) just wanting to scoop it up to gang-rape the real player collectors in need!

Russ, what fun is that. You should scoop up cards and offer them on ebay for a bagillion times over value, then at some point the ebay market will catch up top your price.

BTW, a member here inquired about this card about 6-months ago and offered $150 for one.

 

[boomo]

there really are people who must hit refresh as a business 14-18 hrs a day.
ive tried it for 30 minutes and got sick of it. But it works for some people.

 

[jszczech]

I would have no problem paying $150 for one.

How exactly does that trump this??? This guy won the Puckett for $7 and if he does flip it will bring in around $250. Not sure how a profit of $135 is better than a profit of $240?!

As a rare 90's ***** myself, I would have scooped it up to flip in a heartbeat. I gotta sell cards to buy more! If it sells, I'm not sure how that's a gang rape, or any other kind of rape - especially if it's an auction.

Agreed 100%. Anyone who would have seen that listing and didn't buy it, is foolish. Collecting Will Clark is very expensive and anything I can do to offset the price of Clark cards is bonus. I choose to invest in superstars rather than prospecting and it usually pays off. Passing on a $7 Puckett First Pitch Preview is just nuts, but I'm sure it was only on ebay a few minutes before it got picked up, so I would have had no chance at it.

I know two or three guys who would probably fight each other for this card....even at 200 bucks. One of the great eBay steals for sure.
