2 HUGE and unexpected eBay pickups
So I've been wanting the Triple Threads auto of Glavine/Smoltz/Maddux for some time now and I decided to bid on two on them in hopes of scoring one. Well since I was going to be at work when both listings ended I did an auto bid and ended up winning both cards.....
I scored the 2014 variation numbered to /36 and /27 for about $20 below what each of them had been selling for but it still ended up costing me $440 for both cards. Thankfully money isn't a concern right now but that will probably end my reign of terror on eBay for few weeks atleast.

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

RE: 2 HUGE and unexpected eBay pickups
Thanks all. HOF, I'm still chasing those Biggios though so if you find them I'll take em!
I'm open to trading one of the 2 if the offer is right. I'm still deployed but the cards will be getting shipped to my parents house so if someone really wants one bad enough I can have them ship it to you if we come to an agreement.
