Wonka.. thought you would get a kick outta that one.. Chris, Johnny and I have thrown that phrase around a couple times..

Chris.. you've heard that one too! Johnny stop hoarding the errors! I heard Johnny has so many errors... when you look at his collection... you'll think the normal card is the weird looking one...

"Low Pop!!!!" to describe a 50's or 60's common PSA 8 - when the population is greater than 50+ on a PSA 8 common.

(I consider population below 10 to be low pop)

It's a tie between "Where is your Babe Ruth card" and the disappointed "Oh" after I tell people he isn't in a set I collect. A close second place would be "What's your most expensive card" which is apparently a requisite for non-collectors to ask.

When I'm looking at a card and ask the dealer how much. They say how much do you want to pay ? They get real mad when I say I don't want to pay anything for it.

That sounds like a guy I know that sets up at the National every year with awesome, one of a kind items that he "doesn't want to sell." Who would do that!
