"There's a great Cobb in Mastro's new auction."

Already said before but when people say
"LOW POP" It makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit, especially when it is like a 1916 zeenut graded a 2 just because only 3 cards have ever been graded of that player. Rhys |
As a former store owner the words I didn't want to hear were, "I used to have all these cards as a kid, but my mom threw them away." If I heard it once, I heard it a million times.
|
From a seller: "I paid ..... for it."
When I was living in Nepal if a shop owner started down that road, I would cut them off and say, "If you tell me what you paid, I am walking out the door and never returning." Once they resort to that, it is almost impossible to go lower and often the number is not true. JimB |
on ebay, "+++++++++++"
I've never understood why PSA and SGC don't add those to their grades. ;) JimB |

"It's time to lock this thread, Leon."

An oldie, but a goodie (if you like fingernails across a chalkboard):
"My mother threw out my cards." |

My Wife made them all Float!

Actions speak louder than words...
-Whips out phone to check e-bay and VCP to offer 1/5th the previous sale- |
ME: Why so much for this card? It's a 1.
Dealer: But it has NM corners. ---- You didn't see that go for half of what you paid on Kevin Savage Auctions? |
A big +1 to whomever wrote..
Let me check the price guide. Yuk |

a few of the ones that made me chuckle- "My wife made them all float" And on the guy pulling out a smartphone to check VCP, a guy did that to me at the last national. I had a T213-2 in a 5 holder (very rare, well, .....not really but sort of high grade ....anyway).....He checks VCP and sees exactly when and where I bought the card he is haggling on. It was like $225 and he saw my markup was $17.....I told him since he checked it we can now negotiate up since he knows I wasn't making squat. He bought the card. Nice ones so far guys!! I knew this would probably be an amusing thread....and ever since the Goldin thread I can't get "You'll GET A MCQUWIRE ROOKIE" out of my head....da** it. |
Hate to hear
Your submitted card is trimmed

Poppage
The word "poppage" makes me puke.

Worthless information, such as "only 1 of 4 at this level, with only 7 graded higher."
Who TF cares!?! |
I hate when friends that know nothing about collecting say to me, "Your collection is all MINT, right?" and then they look down on you when say no, and i cant get them to understand that if my collection was mint it would be worth an insane fortune and I would have had to be Bill Gates to buy all those mint cards.
Also how i love it when you see a card advertised with the person having a feedback of 3 on Ebay and he says "I know nothing about baseball cards and he is selling a Goudey Ruth or something similar". |
words
"I'm writing to tell everyone that I am leaving Net54."

Non collector friends saying anything like..............................
"You collect baseball cards right", "I have some I'd like you to take a look at" In 20+ years I have been told this about 1000 times and it has NEVER been anything but Griffey rookies and 1987 topps or other worthless items like this and I HAVE TO BE THE ONE to tell them they are not worth anything and to save them for their kids! |
Asking a dealer about a card on your Want List:
"I've been bringing that card to this show for over 10 yrs and I just sold it 5 minutes ago". |
heard it
Oh yea, I had all those when I was a kid....
|
PSA 10 GEM MINT......on a T206 Wagner reprint.
and an off topic one that kills me: When I tell someone that I'm running a marathon and they ask "Oh, how many miles is that one?". |
On an eBay listing for a raw card: "PSA 10???"
|
"PSA 4 but it's really under graded. Looks more like a 6. Oh and I don't have a scan."
|
"Please keep an eye out for my stolen collection..." or anything pertaining to stolen collections. These types of posts made me move the majority of my collection into the bank, and it always sucks to hear about a collector having his cards stolen.
|
"PSA ready"
|
"I'll give em to ya for half of book" (brooklyn accent)

"I can't sell it for that, I have too much in it"

Is this my last chance to buy it before it goes to eBay? Are you going to send it to Goodwin if it doesn't sell here? Bump? Bump? Bump? |
When a seller charges $5.99 for priority shipping and you buy a few cards and ask for combined price. "We don't combine shipping on cards, sorry". Then it shows up with all cards in a bubble mailer, first class, no dc or insurance, all for $2.35. Then they ask for positive feedback.
