Default Look both ways before crossing the street...

...but also look both ways before listing something on ebay.

Take a gander at the laughable price differential between the unsuitably expensive 1973 Kellogg's PSA 10 cards of Rose and Palmer and the cards that are listed directly before and after them. Sadly, GEM MT 10's from this set are pretty easy to come by (I was looking to fill some holes when I ran across these examples), but these sellers didn't seem to do any research whatsoever when formulating their pricing strategies. What are they thinking, "My 10 clearly has much greater eye appeal than your 10!!"?????

(On a side note, it's funny that although they are being sold by different sellers, the first two Roses have consecutive cert. numbers, so they were obviously submitted by the same person. I guess the second card was bought from the first seller, and the buyer immediately said to himself, "I can definitely sell this for 7.5 times as much as I paid for it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yessssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!")

Anyway, this made me chuckle.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
