I start off my week of "200 Griffeys" with my best Griffey deal of the year.
One card that I was hunting down is the 1991 Arena
Hologram #2 card. There are actually two versions, the base version and an
autographed version. I was just looking to add a base version, which normally
sells for a dollar or two, so when I came across one listed with an opening bid
of $14.99 I thought the seller was insane setting such a high price on a base
card. I checked the auction to see what the seller’s feedback was, 100% with
over 1,500 feedback. That is when I noticed there were two pictures in the
description and the second picture was the autographed version. I read the
description which said that the auction winner would receive both the base card
and the autographed card so I ended up bidding. I won the election for $15.49
plus $3.00 shipping, only one other person bid too. This is a card that usually runs $60 or more so I am ecstatic about this pick up.

This has got to be my best deal ever on eBay and all
because the seller used an incomplete title which when matched up with what
most people thought was an unbelievable opening price and people got scared
away.
So I throw out a question to the readers…
What is your best deal?
