I always do the 'ignore' approach. There are two cards being compared, but the reality is you're only going to buy one of them (whether it's these second mortgage Jackies or something else), so I'll look at the price tag and examine the individual card to see if the asking price is worth it. When a card sits alone without a doppleganger directly beside it, 99.999% of the 'issues' brought up here wouldn't be readily apparent. It's only the comparison that makes the spotlight burn brightly on them.

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