Sick of reprint listings

Another issue that is just as much of a pain is the vendors that only show up when eBay is running some sort of listing special. They will list hundreds of cards at totally crazy money. I wonder if they make ANY sales?

I just like to browse and not search for anything in particular so I feel your pain, it's really annoying.

Best thing you can do is search with a price minimum. Enter something like $10 since most reprints get listed under that, and it eliminates the hassle

I totally relate, I search everyday for cards I want (when I am ready to buy) and I always have to deal with those cleverly listed reprints that can't always be filtered. I also am sick and tired of those highly overpriced listings that do not sell. Sometimes I am tempted to message those sellers and ask "What the F*&# are you thinking?!" $800 asking price for a $300 card!

But won't that eliminate all cards with a starting price of $9.99??

With price minimums, don't you miss the legitimate cards with low starting bids? I use the following filter:

t206 -(topps, tribute, reprint, reprints, rp, 2010, etopps, 2002, ultra, helmar, postcard, holder, sleeves)

This get the listings down to a reasonable number (448 auctions, the last time I tried it). Sure, you still get the aluminum cards, the "uncut sheets", and the countless Wagners but the results are managable.
