What's with ebay?

Thank you, guys, for the suggestion regarding excluding words by using a minus sign.

I tried it, and it turns out that it is necessary to leave a space before the minus sign. Also, the parentheses method works better. I don't know why, but if you just list "t206 -rp-reprint-topps" the search engine still provides plenty of the offending reprints. But, if you use t206 -(rp,reprint,topps,2009), you're going to have the same good time you had five years ago.

I thought David made a good point about how this procedure will also exclude items whose descriptions contain the words "not a reprint." But maybe it's a fair price to pay for a reprint-free and topps-free experience. The happy hunting might just be worth it!!!
