I live on ebay, and I am constantly poking around just to see what kind of goodies they have listed for sale. This is some of the expensive but cool stuff I have spotted on my MANY visits to the Bay.

This autographed Babe Ruth baseball which has been authenticated by PSS/DNA was signed in 1947 by Ruth and personalized.
Price - $119,000
Let me just say, I am constantly involved in an ebay auction, as a matter of fact I am involved in an auction right now, and these auctions are highly stressful. You have to wait up to 9 days sometimes for them to end, you don't know if you're going to win, and it's nerve wracking. They take years off of your life, and you're never the same afterwards.
Ok, this is insane. Check out this 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan rookie sticker. The seller has pointed out that in the serial number on the slab are the numbers "63" and "69". These numbers are significant because Jordan's career playoff high was 63 points and his career regular season high was 69 points. Because of the serial number on the slab, this card has been priced at $5,500,000. It is the most expensive Jordan item on ebay.
Price - $5.5 million
This is the most expensive Tom Brady item on ebay. It is his 2000 Donruss Elite Status rookie card serial numbered 9/10.
Price - $4 million
Every time I see Brady rookie cards I regret passing them over at card shows when they were in bargain bins, just gross
I certainly wish I had a time machine, I would stock up!
I know everyone is curious about who has the most expensive card on ebay between Mike Schmidt and George Brett. Well, in this battle, Mike Schmidt is superior. His 1973 Topps rookie card graded SGC 10 is the winner.
Price - $185,000
If I was looking for the highest graded rookie and had the money to make it happen I absolutely would not buy it in an SGC holder
Don't worry aboit it...it's only money.> @doubledragon said:

George Brett's most expensive card is this 1975 Topps mini rookie graded BCCG 10.
Price - $49,995
I'm glad it's not 50k. That would be out of my price range.
I'm sorry to inform you, but the shipping cost in that Brett rookie is $150. I know how bad you want a high grade George Brett rookie, but I'm soory sorry Steve, with shipping and tax it's not going to happen.
Neither would I, those SGC holders are just awful looking. It makes a beautiful card look like garbage.
Expensive restaurants, who needs them. They could figure out a way to rip you off for a candy bar!
Check out this Ted Williams ball, he signed his whole name.
Price - $14,999
In case you're wondering what the most expensive Ted Williams card is on the Bay, it is this 1955 Topps Hocus Focus. It is supposed to be the only copy ever graded by ANY card grading company.
Price - $250,000
No wonder the seller rejected my $49,995 payment.
I was wondering what the yell happened.
Give it up Steve, you'll never own your dream card of your all-time favorite player George Brett.
This is insane, it is a proof for Joe Montana's 1981 Topps rookie card.
Price- $49,000
Oh geez, i thought it was a Mike Schmidt card.
I'm glad the payment didn't go thru, that sure would have been embarrassing.
My wife made me look this up, she used to collect Barbie dolls in the 90s. Just to clarify my wife made me look this up, I do not under any circumstances, collect or play with Barbie dolls! So here, this is a error Barbie and Ken doll. It is an error because Ken is not supposed to have a beard, but he does.
Price - $100,000
Man, the shipping prices of this stuff is ridiculous. I'm cheap, so when I ship something, it is usually cost saving shipping.
I think this is considered to be Luke Skywalker's rookie card. It's the 1977 Star Wars Luke Skywalker and it's graded a PSA 10.
Price - $1 million
This is the most expensive US coin on the Bay. I know nothing about coins, but the listing says it's a 1802 Draped Bust.
Price - $2,021,300
This is the first Batman comic book ever. This is the original one folks, the comic book that started it all, and it has the first appearance of Joker and Catwoman. It doesn't come cheap, how much does it cost you ask? Try $195,000 big daddy!
Seems to me like this one should be in the "Ya gotta be kidding me" category.
Recycling the Stouffers boxes. Seems like a very environmentally friendly thing to do.
Although i hope the buyer doesn't place your product in the microwave by mistake, especially if it's a coin. LOL
It is insane, Star Wars fans are crazy Steve, they'll pay anything for quality merchandise. And don't go near their Star Wars toy figures without their permission, you could lose an eye!
Check out this Elvis Presley first day cover, it's supposed to be the most valuable first day cover in the world, and it even appeared in a magazine. The price? Try $1,000,000 on for size and see how that fits, big daddy!
Here is it's appearance in a magazine.
The first X-Men comic book ever, issue number 1. The first villain they faced was Magneto.
Price - $45,000
The Amazing Spider-Man issue number 1. This is the first issue ever made of The Amazing Spider-Man.
Price - $21,000
I remember as a young boy, seeing this in the candy store where i used to frequent to buy candy, cards, comic books, etc, blowing thru my weekly allowance each Saturday. At the time there were a number of super-hero comic books including Superman, Batman, etc. So when briefly thumbing thru this comic book, it seemed like the most ludicrous super-hero idea i ever heard of. I mean a guy being bit by a spider, etc, etc, etc. Just too silly.
Well of course Spider Man eventually turned out to be a best seller. LOL
Oh it's a very nice card. But one million dollars? I don't think so.
Unless Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos start bidding on it at the same time. LOL
These comic books are fascinating, I wish I could go back in time, I would grab every one I could get my hands on. Time travel Steve, it's my dream. I'm grabbing every comic book, rare boxing card, you name it.
Every time I see these comic books the more I think about getting into them, the covers are awesome. The reality is they are tough to enjoy reading though, and the condition grading is hard to figure out.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm not sure if this is what ya meant or not, but for myself as an adult, i cannot read comic books any longer. I think it takes a certain personality type as an adult to enjoy comic books. Perhaps the same type who enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons, etc, and that's all fine. It just doesn't interest me, and really hasn't since around the seventh grade.
You could personally get Joe Louis's autograph.
Yes, I suppose I could.🤔 I didn't think about that.
From what i've seen over the years, Joe seemed to be very accessible. He was a "regular" at casinos, award ceremonies, and other events because he was such a beloved icon. He would draw a crowd anywhere he went.
Now whether or not he signed, i do not know. So if ya go back in time, you may have to be prepared to just get a pic with him, and settle for that.

Joe's sig seems reasonably priced considering his fame. Sort of tells ya that he did sign at least a fair amount of the time.
Yes, Joe did sign his fair share of items. I'm more of a rare card guy, for some reason I've never been a big autograph person. I'm kind of like Indiana Jones, I prefer a good hunt for a rarity. If I had it all to do over again, I would seriously consider becoming an archaeologist. I love ancient history and undiscovered mysteries.
Pretty much what I meant. I bought a stack of SGT Rock comics out of curiosity off Ebay since I haven’t touched one since I was a kid and they are still sitting on top of the shelf where I left them after I opened them several months ago, I opened them and thumbed through them and was like no way I could actually read them lol.
I couldn't read them either, they look cool, especially the first issues of the legendary characters like Spider-Man and Batman, but I couldn't sit down and actually read them and be happy about Batman stopping the Joker from pulling a heist.
I still have all my comic books from when i was a kid. Lots of Superman, Batman, Archie, and others.
Also have some of those Sgt Rock comics as well and some similar with the WW2 action theme. Of course it's the same basic story in every comic. Rock or whoever is pinned down and outnumbered by numerous German or Japanese soldiers, while receiving hellacious gunfire, but always somehow manages to defeat the enemy, even when he's badly wounded.
I'd guess that Rock must have received hundreds of brutal wounds in his comic book career. Yet he always fully recovers soon enough from the wounds to be ready for next month's comic. LOL
