Cherrypicker Guide flip project

Woke up to a message that I got $17.91 in Ebay bucks.

Always tell newbies to buy a CPG and haunt ebay for deals.

Unlikely as it might seem, my long term goal is a 1955 DDO in MS64 or MS65... so around $5k. (Or something similar)

Will update as I find and sell items.

    Good luck ... the 1955 DDO cent in 64/65 is a nice realistic goal.

    Growing up, I saw a documentary on Mel Fisher and was hooked.

    Every auction I view, it is with the mindset..... "Today is the day!"

    Will keep this ebay centric for sake tracking and accounting.

    Have been hitting alot of singles of late using a tight budget. Pick, grade, flip...

    I am confident, but the first $100 will be the hardest. Followed by giving up any real cool finds.

    Figure 3 to 5 year thread I could see evolving into a Box of 20.... lol

    It's MUCH tougher to find worthwhile varieties nowadays than it used to be. Everyone is lookin'.

    In 1989 I got to meet Mel Fisher and shook his hand in Key West....."todays the day" famous quote.....like to see a picture of that day? eh? Take a close look I think this will fuel the fire and passion.....correct....that is Jimmy Buffett guitar in hand......1980 abord Mels ship celebrating the find.
