For me, the 'A seller saying "I have this much into it" debate' can be assessed thusly (can't believe I just used "thusly"):

• If his number is a true evaluation like, "I bought this graded Aaron card for XX dollars recently, and would like to make a bit of a profit on it," then it is a reasonable 'request' in a two-sided negotiation. No problems whatsoever.

• When a seller has a stupid price, saying I have this and this and this into it, so I need to get a king's ransom for it, I'll walk away and talk to someone else who has the same card available.

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