Ebay Acquisitions

I tend not to do a lot of Wallach card shopping on ebay.  For the most part, it's just too expensive.  Or at least, not as cost efficient as other online alternatives.  However, I still check it daily for cards and other items that may pop up.  Recently I picked up some cards.  Above is a lot of 68 1982 Topps Wallach's I picked up at a very good rate.  Whenever I pick up a large lot like this, the hope is always to find some sort of oddball in the group, one with a weird ink variation or that is extremely miscut.  Something like that.  This group included one of the more miscut '82 Wallach's I've seen.  When you're dealing with duplicates in large numbers, this sort of thing is exciting.

I also recently picked up a lot of 111 Wallach cards on ebay.  A good number of them (28) ended up being '86 Topps Stickers, and decent amount of other assorted mini's and stickers as well.  Generally speaking I'm not wild about mini cards or stickers.  They just don't seem like "real" cards to me.  But if I can pick up a bunch at once like this, I don't mind.

My third, and final, recent ebay pick up I'm showing with this post is a lone 1989 Upper Deck card.  I bid on it more out of curiosity than anything else.  The seller listed it with "free shipping."  I "won" it for 12¢.  I expected it would probably arrive in an envelope that was obviously sent from someone's place of business, but it didn't, it was sent in a PWE with a regular stamp, and in a top loader.  Unless this guy is stealing stamps, I can't see his ebay enterprise being a success.
