The few I got recently were busts and I broke even even though they were high-end cards.

Orakpo: $4.50 dlvd - $12.98 = $8.48 (/25 gridiron gear rookie auto)
Tebow: $26.94 dlvd - $42.99 = $16.05 (Black Friday Auto)
Cowboys $26.95 dlvd - $52.99 = $26.04 (BOYS Aikman/Whote/Staubach/Meredith booklet from Playbook /49)
Jacquizz $3.98 dlvd - $12.98 = 9.00 (R&S Logo patch /299)
Santonio $3.50 dlvd - $14.99 = $11.49 (Classics patch auto /10)
Notre Dame $73.99 dlvd - $81.99 = 0 (Quad auto Brown/Lamonica/Ismail/Hornung /5)
Cam $125.00 dlvd - $140.49 = 0 (certified quad mem auto /25)

Some great deals in there and some that wasted my time. All were worth the risk with high previous sales.

Updates:

$2.64 valiant lot:

I sold every card from the Valiant lot except the Kiel rookie. All of them were inserted into an ebay lot except the lindley which sold for a whopping $27.25 dlvd. I got roughly $2 a piece for the rest. Rough Total: $32.25 sold while keeping one for PC.

$20.41 dlvd got me an earl campbell auto and tom brady goal post relic.

I sold the Campbell for $30.34 dlvd
I put the brady in a lot with the valiant cards and got about $13 for it roughly even though it was damaged and I sold it as "damaged".
Total $43.34

I also picked up a Michael Vick 2002 SPx auto for $6.80 dlvd and will try to get about $17-20 dlvd out of it. I could hold onto it too and wait for next year.

Work picked up in late August until now and I have not had time to troll around on ebay as much. I had a day off this week and picked up a few steals for Nov. Ended up breaking even last month on the Blackmon and cleared $125 on the Sanders with a $30 profit. After fees neither one was worth the time.

My next sales:

For $2.64 dlvd I picked up this lot:
2012 Leaf Valiant Devon Still Green Auto
2012 Leaf Valiant Zach Brown Green Auto
2012 Leaf Valiant Jeff Fuller Green Auto
2012 Leaf Valiant Gunner Kiel Green
2012 Leaf Valiant Ryan Lindley Gold Auto /10

Not sure what to keep or sell. I may sit on it and hope for Lindley to get some garbage time. I could make my money back just by selling one.

For $20.41 dlvd I got these two also:
2005 Topps Heritage Earl Campbell Auto
2005 Topps Heritage Tom Brady SB Goal Post Relic

I should be able to clear $25 with the Brady alone. I may keep the Campbell, but I already have a nice auto of his, so who knows!

Not looking like it was as good of a buy as I thought.

I did score this lot for $4.49 dlvd: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Football-Lot...p2047675.l2557

Kept 2 cards for PC and sold the rest as a lot for $12 dlvd. making a profit of $7.51. I kept the Williams patch and Kearse auto and substituted a Kearse auto from my PC that I did not like as much. Also added a couple of commons to make it an even 10 card lot.

My biggest September score so far is a Sam Bradford Contenders auto for $64.00 dlvd. I flipped it the day of arrival for $99.00 dlvd. Profit: $35.00.

I also bought a Justin Blackmon Ultimate Draft Insciptions auto /25 for 19.99 dlvd and plan to flip it next week for $40-50.

Also picked up a couple of PC "seals". Christian Okoye 2008 Donruss SIlver Sigs auto for $3.74 dlvd. Also a Marcus Allen press pass saturday sigs auto for $11.59 dlvd. Also, a Bob Hayes 2000 GOTG on card auto for $66 dlvd as a gift for my dad.

Sept. Profit on flips only: $42.51 (19.99 card planning to sell for 40-50 pending, Sanders paid $95 pending) ]]> xposipx http://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/1544-Steals-Update-4 http://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/1526-September-Steals Fri, 31 Aug 2012 23:49:01 GMT Got the Barry Sanders 2011 Gold Standard Hall of Gold Auto /10 and it looks amazing. I am tempted to keep it and sell my Sweet Spot Sanders, but we'll see. I am looking to get anywhere from $130-150.

I put the 1994 Skybox Plaque in a lot on Ebay and just crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. It ends tomorrow and has 12 watchers. I need about $50 out of the lot to get my $25 back on it.

Other recent Steals:

2008 Marcus Allen Press Pass Legends Saturday Sigs Red Ink Auto $11.29 dlvd (PC, ~$9 savings)
2008 Christian Okoye Donruss Silver Sigs Auto $3.74 dlvd (PC, ~$4.50 savings)

This one may not end up being an easy profitable flip and I may keep it because it looks amazing. Sanders cards of that quality go from $90-$160 which is a crazy range.

It should be here next week. I saw one on ebay sell for $145 BIN and if I can't flip it for $40-50 profit, it may turn into a PC card.

My profit for the month still sits at $138.71 (-10% in fees).

The Kelly/Stabler/Dilfer STILL remains unsold and I will be lowering the price to $40 BIN soon and may fish it around for trades as well on SCF. ]]> xposipx http://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/1519-Steals-Update-3 http://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/1517-Steals-Update-2 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 23:08:42 GMT $138.71 month to date profit (21 days).

SOLD the RG3 within an hour of having it on ebay. Only had the card in my possession for 2 hours before flipping. So sad, it's an awesome card, but too risky to hold onto. Got $350 dlvd. That's my biggest profit yet, but ebay of course will take fees to make it a little less exciting.

Still $24.99 in the hole on the Jim Kelly/Stabler/Dilfer triple auto plaque. I thought it would be a home run as well and I'm still trying to get $50 as I know it's worth right around that much. I'll trade it on SCF if I can't find a buyer. One actually sold for $125 not too long ago on ebay! boo! ]]> xposipx http://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/1517-Steals-Update-2 http://www.sportscardforum.com/entries/1516-Steals-Update-1 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 14:57:35 GMT Purchased an RGIII Elite Status Auto /24 for $253.50 dlvd thinking I can get $330+
