Two eBay auctions I won
Check this out...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=2781358288
Not the greatest title and description. Paid about $48 including insurance and got what appears to be a complete 1983 Topps set (checked all major cards including Ripken 2nd Year, Sandberg RC, Boggs RC, Gwynn RC) and a 1982 Topps set that only appears to be missing 8 cards (not 23). The vast majority of cards are NM-MT in 1983, NrMt - NMMT for 1982 with as many better as worse.
Wait... it gets better. You think one of the 8 missing from 1982 is the jewel, right? Nope, the Ripken RC is there and is probably NM-MT. The 8 that are missing are worth about $10 total... most of them are $1-type cards.
I was shocked but glad my gamble payed off... even if they're missing a few more than I think they are, they've at least got the major cards and I'd just be looking for low level stars and commons.
What do ya think? Value of two sets is $180 total... both usually go on eBay for at least $30 alone and that's before shipping. I got them for $48 including shipping and insurance.

Nice buy but $20 S/H is very high!

Yeah, but I factored that in to the purchase. I always go buy totals that I pay. I just noticed I titled this auction "2 Auctions Won" and didn't mention the other auction - it was for 225 Nolan Ryan cards that with shipping I got for about $20 - there were several $5+ cards in there including a $20-$25 early 80's OPC.
