I partially agree with this but the way modern cards are packed out it makes it a bit easier to find non-autographs by searching 'non-autograph.' I know it adds a few things to your search that you don't want to see, but I've stopped being annoyed by it.

I think searching by "non-autograph" would leave a ton of cards out of your sort as most dealers I see do not use that phrase. But if it works for you, great.

I also hate "Ebay 1/1" when I am searching for 1/1 cards, man, what phony crap that is!!!!!

That is funny, you also forgot to add in that cards owned by relatives found in their attic/basement are among your favorites.

Very good Dave . Hope whatever cards you end up with get Monster Poppage

Are you interested in my Snow White Orbs?

Just saw a listing with "lethal corners". Good thing they put the card in a slab before it killed someone.

[yanksfan09]

Probably as lethal as a razor blade!

I agree Pat. "Razor sharp" corners is a better alternative....

Whenever someone lists something as having "razor sharp corners," I know it actually has butter knife corners.

It stopped being the "hobby when the Justice Department started sending "hobbyists" to prison. Let's retire the term "the hobby."

A recent PSA (7,8,9) sold for .......

[bigred1]

advanced collection

[buymycards]

Since I collect Coupons, I have always wondered why the Coupons are listed as 1910-1919, Types 1, 2, and 3. Using that logic, shouldn't Goudey's be listed as 1933 through 1941 Types 1, 2, etc.? Playball 1939-1941 Types 1, 2, and 3?

Grading company

[Snapolit1]

Any auction for a $30,000 item that has to recount for an entire catalog page the circumstances of Lou Gehrig's tragic death or the circumstances of Babe Ruth's upbringing. Or Jackie Robinson breaking the color line. I realize a lot of people buying $45,000 pieces of cardboard may not know these interesting stories, but they are old news to some of us.
