Cliff Lee Opening Day Error Follow Up

Just to let you all know there are now 60 different auctions for the Cliff Lee Opening Day card, and since last night they seemed to have dropped off to ending between $8-$15 dollars. Way to oversaturate the market all you guys that open cases (ahem, tntnorthnj who has about 20 up).

Good old eBay

Sometimes eBay is the root of all evil, and then there are times like today where you thank God for crazy people. Remember last week when Sooz posted about a Cliff Lee card with an error? Well... everyone was talking about this card this morning, apparently it was selling for around $50 on eBay.

I bought a couple of packs a week or so ago, put them in a pile and hadn't gone through them again... until this morning. I figured for around $50 I can take 5 minutes to check my stack of Opening Day. Lucky for me, I had one of the cards. I scanned it, wrote a small description, and put it on eBay. After listing it, I went to buy some lunch, ate and sat around reading the paper for a bit. When I went back to my computer before leaving for class the card sold and was paid for. Not bad for a card that came out of a dollar pack.

I figured I would share the fortune, and tell you guys to check your Opening Day cards and see if you can flip this "error" card into a hobby box of something or a bunch of singles.
