I bought this card for around $2.50 in a lot of rookie cards. I almost couldn't tell that it was a 'ruby' because there were so many cards. It was even cooler because it was a former Kentucky player (who I collect).

Even in today market, it is still quite a amazing price to get back then.

Dope Bernard King up there!!

I actually grabbed his RC for $5 bucks and it graded out a PSA 9. Might not be worth a ton but though that was an insane bargain at $5, especially for a 32 yr old Knicks fan!

Believed I picked this up a couple of years ago for a little under $5. Not worth too much, but its still cool to get a patch auto of a 50 Greatest.

There was a guy who bought an 03-04 UD Legends "rainbow" draft pick #1 redemption from a guy who busted a fresh box in a card shop. He bought it for 5 bucks, two weeks later UD announced that the "rainbow" version 25 would be the autographed version. Long story short, the seller was pissed and the buyer got an 03-04 UD Legends Dwight Howard auto rookie /25 for 5 bucks!

Kobe rookie, bought a rookie lot of his, which was probably worth $80 but it was badly titled and listed and I got it for $25 I think.

Not $5 but the best $25 bucks I've spent..which once sold for $1k now probably hovers in the $600-$800 range. The guy had no idea what he had on ebay and I made the offer. I didn't even know about it either and just wanted one for my female celebrity/star collection.

About 2 years ago, I won a partial 1996 Topps Stars Members Only Set with Inserts for $9.99. Partial meaning whoever had it:
A. Took EVERY Celtic card from it
B. Did a bad Job of detailing who was left in it. Basically 41 of the Greatest NBA players of all times x 4 cards per player (~160 cards)

There were 5 Jordans!

They have substantially cooled down, but I did get over $400 for just the Jordans and $100 for the Pippens.. etc.

I got this /5 auto for my pc for around $5 dlvd. Since it isn't numbered the seller didn't know how rare it was.
