My First Post, and a vent

[Shemp]

My first post! As Boris Badenov would say....allow me to introducing myself. I was collecting mid 60's Topps baseball sets back in the 1990's, completing a run of 1967 through 1970. I began to collect the Topps 1963 set in graded 7 condition, completing about half the set. Around 2006 I decided to pause collecting in order to better save for my retirement. At the beginning of 2020 I hit my monetary goal and decided to return to collecting the 1963 set. A month after I began the pandemic hit, and prices began to rise. By the end of the year my buying slowed down, as I think prices have become silly on many cards.

Moreover, since I must be a glutton for punishment, I started collecting the 59 Topps, also in graded condition, aiming for an average grade of 6. So far, have about 40 of these cards, with these prices also becoming silly.

I bid, and lose. Bid, and lose, etc etc. So tonight I decided to post here and vent....

not about prices, but about how too many sellers use annoying listing practices on E Bay. For instance, if I search for Topps baseball 1963 psa a whole mess of 1964 Topps baseball show in my search results. It seems some clown has, in the item specifics, listed the year as 1963. There must be 50 or so of these listed, so I'm positive this luxurious has done this intentionally. Annoying as all hell.I

Just wanted to get this off my chest. There, I feel better.
