What are some of the weird things that your eBay saved searches will accidentally drag up from the depths of eBay?

For example, I have a saved search for "Yount Museum" because I've been on the lookout for one of the artists sketches from that release (and I generally like the product as well). However, whenever this item gets relisted, I get an email: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sylvia-Youn...useum-of-Art-2008-HC-DJ-SIGNED-/401048197132?

Any other weird ones for you?

Some people can't spell Santa Claus properly, so I occasionally see Santa Glaus figurines when I search for Troy.

My Cirillo searches bring up a book on tactical handguns and a few questionable DVD videos

Back when I was going for the Absolute Jumbo set, I'd search for some of the rarer players by player name. There were countless ways for sellers to write a title and it was impossible to find everything. Hell, I found a rare Johnny Bench through a "Prime Cuts Stan Musial" search. One of the players I've never seen a jumbo for is Gaylord Perry, and I'd come across these all the time:

I have a search set up for "Stanton 1/1." Since he changed his name, sometimes I'd miss an early card because the seller lists it as "Mike" or "Michael"

The success rate of my search returning a Stanton card is around 90%, but the other 10% is pretty amusing.

I guess there is a Will Clark who was in **** and Mike Brown (esp in the Hands Up timeframe) have produced a few odd results.

I've seen this book pop up so many times in my daily searches that I almost feel the need to read the damn thing.
