Hilarous...

Thanks guys. This is going to sound ridiculous, but I am not handling the "search" function well. Same thing with the Imperial C46 questions I had.

I'll do my best to do better searches.

Here is a fine solution to the search problem (and once again, I forgot who to credit, so I apologize):

A far better way to search the forum for old posts is to go to the url/address box and type "search site:www.net54baseball.com" (without the quotes) followed by a space and then whatever it is that you want to search for. This will let you use Boolean operators built into Google that Net54 doesn't allow (AND and OR) and quotation marks to search for an exact phrase. It is much better than using the forum's search option.

Both Net54 and Blowout's search engines also ignore all three character search terms, so PSA, SGC, BGS, C46, etc all don't get searched for properly. You've got to use the "site:" thing explained above to really find those in searches.

This has always driven me crazy. I have been on this forum for a long time but I sometimes go several days without checking.

You're welcome.

I used to delete my ask but then changed because I think it is great to have prices in old posts as a reference. If I get my ask, I leave it and type SOLD. If I don't, I put a slash through the price and put SOLD next to it so people know I accepted an offer.

It's up to the seller and/or buyer, and that's all there is to it. They're under no obligation to reveal if they don't want to.

I know this is an old thread (and one of many that covered the same ground), but there has been an alarming increase in the number of people removing the sold prices from their FS threads. It seems everyone is editing them to have "$SOLD" as the final price, so anyone not seeing the original post cannot glean any information from it. These days, with the card market being a single tumbleweed away from turning into the wild west, I implore you to leave the sold prices up!!!! It helps your fellow collectors.
