[kentuckyderby]

Who else often has names spelled incorrecyly on eBay from time to time and might impact price?

Wieters
Donavan Tate
Pippen back in the days
I think someone once posted a huge Aaron blunder on old BMB days

There are sites that can search ebay if you put the right name it'll search possible mispellings.

I know he isn't that valuable, but I have found a few misspellings of Conor (correct)/Connor/Conner Jackson.

Jaime Garcia is common to find him as "Jamie"

back when i was heavily into garret anderson's stuff, you would come across quite a few auctions which spelled his first name w/ 2 t's. another one i have come across a few times is cal ripken being spelled r-i-p-k-i-n

Ryne Sandberg


I sold a tristar auto ball as "Ryan Sandberg" and I still got over $100 for it

I have seen Dawson flubbed a few different ways, the most common
being "AndreW" Dawson.

This one was listed earlier this year as Andre "DawAson",
and I was able to snag it for $14.99

The last one sold a few weeks ago for $50+

Unless it is the last name, it shouldn't make too much of a difference. The Weiters one seems like a common mistake and EBay searches probably know to search both names. With Donavan, I wouldn't worry about mispelling that because most people don't type in the full name, they would type "Tate Auto*". Just my opinion and experiences.

BTW: Finding Ryan Braun spelt Ryan Bruan really helps the resell value for me

Edinson "Edison" Volquez, thanks to 05 Bowman Chrome. Luckily you can search the last name and it's all him...lol

Arrieta also comes to mind because I always had 1 r, 2 t's stuck in my head.

I'm not sure vis a vis eBay but many people spell Travis Snider's last name Snyder. Maybe thanks to Cory?

Pujols - Puhols, Puihols, Pujhols, Pujol, Puhol, Pujhol, Pujois, Pujhois

fatfingers for me, but I search ways I'd screw them up and have found stuff before that fatfingers didn't have.
