Largest FLIP I have ever made

I couldn't believe I saw one of these selling currently for over $350 (who knows maybe it will get to $500+?).
All I know is that i paid about $18 for it. I Just listed it and sold it in 5 minutes for $300 BIN (after checking completed many sold for 250-300).
That is a 1500% mark up.
Biggest flip dollar wise I ever made was on a 2001 Ultimate Ichiro RC auto. Paid $1200 right before the all star game.
Then in the all-star game, he went 4 for 4 with the FIRST in the park homerun in an ALL Star Game. It sold for $2500+
Although I made $1300+, it was only a 200% markup.
I still can't believe those tigers that sold previously for $18 to $35 are now fetching $300.

<< <i>Why is it a $300 card? That is a 1 per box box topper right? I got Sidney Crosby in mine and it looked as though it was a $5 card at the time. I don't get the modern market. >>
I guess someone that wants to complete the auto set, realizes they won't be able to afford the $9000 tiger auto, and use this as a $300 space filler. At least that was my intention until i decided to dump the set, because many of the autos are impossible....i have seen more tiger autos than some of the others...and rumor has it, that the maddux isn't going to be printed at all. I spent a few thousand in effort of putting together the set, then decided to dump them. Fortunately, I made money on most of them, so i won't complain.
Giovanni- thanks!

My biggest flit was not that great. I paid $105 for a George Mikan Menko and sold it for $770, not to bad I guess, better than nothing

Forget you and your little friends!
I paid what I paid for it, and have the paper of the final sale, so I can youtube it, but then again for what? To prove it to you? Why?

<< <i>Allen, did you ever get that Ted Williams pack from mmync? >>
No, it has not shown up yet. I eagerly meet the mailman at the mailbox everyday just to be let down again. I have mentioned it a time or two on some of his stupid threads and he has never responded. I guess him and his collection manager are too busy grading VG commons and busting 81 Topps wax packs for the huge profit.

Don't forget cataloguing forged autos.
Your negative comments mean nothing to me, so you can keep going with it if you would like, but its not right to any of the board members who come here like I do, for all the positive reasons, and not to deal with

They are short printed. They are still very tough to pull from a box.

Remember that all profit is taxable.
Don't forget to let Uncle Sam know. He could sure use the dough!
"How about a little fire Scarecrow ?"
He said he will give them to me for 20 bucks each binder , I know absolutely nothing about basketball , but I would think that even for 20 bucks a binder , how could I go wrong ?
Haven't looked at it and he said he would bring them over .
"Edited to add: I love those little gummy hamburgers , I could flip them all day

The value may just be in the binder & plastic sheets
<< <i>modern is STRANGE..id rather own this for 270....oh wait...i do!!
That is a beautiful card! One of the nicest Mantles I have seen, I love it!
<< <i>While we are at it, how about my Mantle (same grade, just as good centering and for under $175)?
No offense but I'll take Lothars over yours. Corners are crisper and doesn't have a slight tilt.
...but you should never guy raw on ebay, for shame. lol
