Biggest Turnaround

[Eric Draven]

I would post this in the basketball section but I won't get but one or two replies if that so I am posting it here. We all know that we have got steals on the ebay or elsewhere before, and I was wondering what is some of your all's biggest turnarounds. Mine would have to be my 99-00 Dirk Nowitzki Sign of the Times Gold Autograph /25, which was/is Dirk's 2nd rarest autograph. Anyways I had a huge pc of Dirk nowitzki, probably the biggest around before I sold it, then I went to college and sold my whole dirk nowitzki collection and bought a car and laptop, and sold it for like 4k all together, but anyways I bought the SOTT for about 300 or so I think, and sold it for 1,000! Right when the playoffs where going on two years ago and it was the Mavs vs. Heat in the nba finals.

I have a few - Had to break out my old note book that I write all of my transactions in -

So, straight from the pages of my note book from 2005, here are my biggest flips -



03-04 Exquisite Yao Ming auto patch 1/1 Paid $650 Sold $9,750.

03-04 Exquisite Yao Ming Scripted Swatches 25/25 Paid $500 Sold $2,000

03-04 Exquisite Yao Ming Numbers auto patch 1/11 Paid $150. Sold $4750.

03-04 Exquisite Scripted Swatched Set (10 cards) Paid $3,000 Sold $12,000

03-04 Exquisite LeBron James Scripted Swatches /25 Paid $2500. Sold $4,000

03-04 Exquisite Baron Davis auto patch 1/1 Paid $2,000 Sold $4,000

03-04 Exquisite S. Marbury auto patch 1/1 Paid $1,500 Sold $6,800

03-04 Exquisite S. Marion auto patch 1/1 Paid 3,200 Sold $8,000

03-04 Exquisite Gary Payton auto patch 1/1 Paid $3,200 Sold $8,000

03-04 Exquisite Jerry Stackhouse auto patch 1/1 Paid $3,200 Sold $8,000

03-04 Exquisite Gilbert Arenas auto patch 1/1 Paid $3,200 Sold $8,000



Most amazing part was that I sold ALL of the above cards to ONE buyer out of Puerto Rico! Some may have heard of him. He was going for the Master Set of 03-04 Exquisite.

I made, clear profit, over $50k in less than 2 months of flipping 03-04 Exquisites to this one guy. Not to shabby for not having to step out my door.

If you guys are making these kind of gains what kind of losses have you taken?

I don't buy boxes or cases. I only buy a card to flip if I know for sure I have a buyer. Little - No loss that way.

Yeah, that guy is a DC member. I think he has the Lebron 23/23 Exquisite RC as well as the 3/3 Wade and 15/15 Anthony. Pretty sick stuff.:dizzy:
