This item was on my watch list and when it got close there was no bid. So, for the $3.49 minimum bid and $3.49 shipping, I went ahead and took a shot. I mean, it DOES have a certificate of authenticity. It HAS to be real!
Since it's an 8x10, it will probably be filed away somewhere to be forgotten. Ten years from now I will likely stumble upon it and it will be like Christmas morning. That's worth $7 to me.
If you shop online and haven't signed up and used ebates yet, you're missing out. I also use it on eBay to get money back from purchases there. Between referrals and cash back, I've gotten over $150 in a year (including $15 back on one Black Friday purchase last week). FREE CARDS! If you're on Twitter, please give me a follow. Happy collecting!
I've gambled on autographs and have gotten mixed results. The worst case scenario is it's fake... but it only cost you $7... and it's still a cool display piece.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Also, it's of a Hall-of-Famer that only has one trading card from his playing days. With such limited options, it's just a calculated risk.
