Default Hobby Myths Most Accept as True

Hello there,

I thought it would be fun to start a thread about myths that most people in the hobby automatically accept as true. These can be large or small myths. Would like to read some of your perspectives.

I'll lead off. For years, it has been assumed that the 1933 Tattoo Orbit Andrews, Blaeholder and Hadley cards are shortprints. This originates from a "find" of a couple thousand cards in the 1970s where there supposedly weren't more than 25 of each of those found. Since then, the legend has circulated that these cards were somehow shortprinted. Not true. Those who have focused on that set know how available they are, and as such are often the first crossed off the wantlist. One of those "shortprints" is on ebay right now. Any others?

James
