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".

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.

Not even if I email you for a scan? Can you tell me whether the card is well centered? Is it gorgeous? Beautiful?

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.

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!

Yeah and the look on their face is somewhere between 'are you sure' and 'I think I gotta take a shit' - oh well, I dumped 20k cards from that era...

What Ken said, "Make offer," translated, means "auction with a hidden reserve" to me.

+1 I'm thinking - slip and fall off a really high mountain peak, that even 20 year olds would have a hard time climbing...when I'm 90.

GasHouseGang 09-25-2012 03:32 PM

Incredible for the grade it's just got a stain, off center, paper loss and maybe some trimming.:rolleyes:

ullmandds 09-25-2012 04:25 PM

The most ironic part of this thread is that these are all things that most people on this site say when selling cards!
