One of the more amusing wastes of time is watching a vintage set break. Usually, the sellers will put 4-5 cards in each packet. The good ones will put at least one non-common in the package, but it might be a really minimal non-common, like Elston Howard. The way those guys have to summon enthusiasm when they open a packet at the request of a bidder who just got Ray Monzant, Cuno Barragan, Wayne Terwilliger, and an o/c checklist---priceless. But I guess they can't just say "sorry, bud, I guess you just wasted fifty bucks on that one."
