Annoying card things

[Yoda]

One peeve that is more than pet and that is the missing card syndrome; you know it is somewhere in the house but can't find it when you need it. Discomfort turns to raw panic as you tear the place apart, knowing (you think, but are beginning to doubt) that it must be there - please God. I once dismantled an entire chest of drawers apart looking for my beautiful E106 Speaker. Tried to explain to the wife why her nice set of drawers was now a pile of wood. Needless to say, she didn't understand. Never did find the card.

It's bad when ya start sweating after looking everywhere and can't find that missing card. Many times I have had a toploader stick to the back of a slabbed card. Those are killer to find.
I was leaving a meeting last night and thought I left my phone back in the meeting room when I was walking out and down the hall. I yelled for someone to see if it was there, and after another minute, noticed it was in my hand.

When you list a group of cards you are selling individually, this is not a "Lot." So many times I click on a link that reads "Lot of 5 T206 for sale" only to see 5 cards individually priced.

The title shouldn't read "Lot of 5 T206 for sale" unless you have them priced as a group.

When you're talking on your phone, looking frantically to find your phone so you can look something up on it ...

not that I know firsthand whether that's ever happened.

Pet Peeve #1: When people contact you and say they're interested in a card of yours, then drag the conversation along for days with massive breaks in between each response (mostly pertains to Facebook).

Pet Peeve #2: I'm going to echo the lack of back scans sentiment.

Pet Peeve #3: When I want every card in the world, but know I can't have it due to a lack of funds.

Pet Peeve #4: When I'm more responsible and have a concise want list, yet still can't buy everything on the list.


I don't have any complaints about my fiancee. She gives me crap sometimes, but ultimately she sees the value in my addiction/hobby. She views them as an investment, which I'm not sure if that's more of a coping mechanism or legitimate opinion. Either way, she's terrific. She even shops for cards for me, and learns about the hobby!
