I Love Auction Name Misspellings!
Just picked this up on the bay for about half what the last one went for because Goldschmidt was misspelled in the listing (as Goldshmidt)
Anyone else have similar success stories? Do you have some misspellings you check all the time?

I used to have a bunch of different searches for "Yoennis" and other variations. Never really capitalized on anything though... Nice pick-up! Those flag card are awesome.
PC Players: Alex Bregman and Christian Yelich. Looking for any and every I don't have.
Other Players: Luis Ortiz Jr., Rowdy Tellez, Touki Toussaint

Nice grab! I keep my searches very broad so I can see any weird mis-labeled listings. Sure it takes me 30 minutes more to sift through all my search results but that's what I do with my coffee in the morning

I got a 1964 Mantle years ago when it was spelled Mantel

Wow that is a steal! Made me just look for any Mantel listings. No such luck.

I know it is in football, but I do search for Jeremy Kerley (Kerly) fairly often. Only found one keeper, but it is fun to look for them.

I recently got a H.O. Train turntable cheap because the seller wasn't clear that the electric drive unit and a spare motor was included... A $35.00 option.
