so for example, when I'm searching for cards to add to my PSA 7 or better 1955 Topps set I search:

1955 Topps PSA 7 -oc -mk -mc
1955 Topps PSA 8 -oc -mk -mc

and then I don't have to worry about listings with those qualifiers as it eliminates them from the search results. So similarly you could do that with "reprint" and the other one that I always have to sift through, those lovely Topps Archives sets they made. So I'll do something like

1953 Topps Mickey Mantle -reprints -reprint - archive -archives and then you won't have to deal with those anymore

my apologies for making you read all that if you already knew this
Great tips! I wasn't aware you could do that.
Thanks.

You're not kidding!

As far as A/H's go, I was under the impression those were likely more expensive due to the selling fees, which I have heard run anywhere from 15% to over 20%??

I see A/H sales on here all the time but I have no clue where to look for them unless a link is posted here?

Might have to consider looking at them more than E-Bay but I am pretty sure most cards there, that I have seen, are high graded high price cards which are likely way out of my league?
