One can never figure eBay out. A few years ago I put up a polyester Ren & Stempy T-Shirt for sale. I figured I would get $5 at the most for it. Instead it sold for $41. Then I put the same T-Shirt up again and it sold for $39 to some guy in Denmark who later e-mailed me that it was the happiest day of his life when that tacky T-Shirt arrived.
And yet right now I have a DiMaggio and Mantle autographed photo with Certificate of Authenticity up since last Thursday. Opening price $2. Guess what? NO BIDS!!! Go figure.

Earlier this year I put a photograph of a young man in a baseball jersey up on ebay. I wasn't getting any bids, but I started getting emails asking me to end the auction and sell privately. So I did the research I should have done earlier, and it turned out I had the earliest original photograph of Christy Matthewson in a baseball jersey, circa 1899.It's going up in a Mastronet baseball memorabilia auction next month.
Now if I can only find my son's old Ren&Stimpy shirt...
