What's your baseball pet peeve?

[savedfrommyspokes]

"Free s/h" on lower priced singles (less than $10)...nothing like paying for s/h on each card when the intent is to purchase a large number of singles. Although, on the rare chance I may buy just one single, there is usually a good deal to be found with the free s/h cards..

I hate when they put a older looking reprint on ebay. I always click on it and then i finally see RP. Also including the new archives and remakes of the old card on the old cards page. When you filter it to lowest price, the first two pages are reprints and relics. Also when an ebay seller doesnt give a detailed description and says "see scan for condition". Can you just type a few words and tell me if theres any damage.

Psa 6 "from vending"..do we really need to know where it came from now that it is graded

My all-time pet peeve is when they picture 4 or 6 cards which APPEAR to be sold as a lot but what they are really selling is ONLY ONE of the cards in the group.

You don't know how many times I have almost pulled the trigger thinking its a great deal on a Mantle plus 3 commons only to find it's only Lou Klimchock in the top left corner that is being offered.

I hate it when people use BCCG and claim it's the same as regular grading. "BCCG 9 - Mint"

I hate that BCCG crap..i actually have a few of those TriStar pieces of junk.
They absolutely have very little value. What gives?? It is a Beckett product??
Right?? Couldt just pop it out and re-slab it elsewhere?? I dont know if anyone done this??

I hate "I am not sure if it's authentic so I am selling it as a reprint" and titles like "NOT PSA".

Oh many I hate this one too, because invariably the one card of the four I would like to buy has already been bought.

Here's another:

When ebay sellers take angled photos of the card, so you can't clearly judge its centering.

While there are many deceptive sellers who intentionally take angled photos with the intent of deceiving a buyer in regards to the actual centering of a card, I recently had my scanner go down and used my digital camera to take photos of some PSA cards I was listing. When I took a picture straight on and not at a slight angle, the flash from my camera reflected off of parts of the card's case in the image rendering large portions unviewable. So I took multiple photos at different angles (to avoid the flash showing up in the image) in order to show that the cards were indeed centered. Thankfully my new scanner arrived within a few days
