You have a card that’s old and tattered
And realize well that condition mattered,
But you need to sell and want to profit.
Yet you cannot get that tape stain off it.
The pinholes are small and barely visible,
But with a loupe, look frankly miserable
The “A” grade is given due to paper loss.
The edges appear slotted from dental floss.
Should you remove it from that tomb?
Should you consign it, if so to whom?
Brent, Al or Greg; Lee, Joe or Brian
Six grown men would all be cryin’
An eBay BIN would sit for years
Without an offer to dry your tears.
Lowball offers you would surely see
On Net fifty-four’s BST.
What to do, you've hemmed and hawed.
Selling such a card should be outlawed.
If it sells, a refund will be requested.
Your patience and sanity to be surely tested.
Just say "I'll take it" your listing will implore.
but legions of buyers will politely ignore.
Why did you buy it, on impulse or drinking?
The morning after, what were you thinking?
Sell something else and put the card away
it may be worth more, four years from May.
There's always an answer, if you know the system
Whatever you think, you're never the victim.
