1 - Any and all things eBay customer service.
2 - Sellers who list cards as EX-MT which arrive with creases in them or who say "no, there are no creases on this card" after specifically being asked if there are any creases, but then the card shows up with 4 obvious creases that couldn't be seen in the photos.

1. People on this site who ask for tough high-grade cards in order to get dibs on them. "Hi, I am looking for a high-grade well-centered 67T Brooks Robinson for a reasonable price." Aren't we all, dude.

2. People who pay $201 for a low-grade 52T Pafko.

3. People who show pictures of their cats on a baseball card forum.

4. Scrupleless people, especially on this site, for whom the term caveat emptor was coined. Thankfully they are the exception here, not the rule.

And in closing, if anyone has high-grade well-centered 1960's short print or star cards they might sell, I call dibs on all of them.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Hey! I resemble that remark.




Walter White and Black...Heisenberg to the local rat population. Five confirmed kills this year (the ones he brought home to share with us). As far the rodents go

I could use a little less of the "doomsday" folks on here. Especially the ones who have been touting impeding doom for the last 5-years.

Did I miss "People who post their new pick-ups, proudly stating how long they've been looking for it or how it was their childhood hero or something, then the next day it's listed for sale in the BST thread"??

Well, that's just silly.

Happy New Year.

Agree with no 2. I wish people would just be honest with each other.

People who post about a card they saw, a story they read, a video they saw or whatever else, then don't post a link to said subject.
I understand about outing an auction but if you're going to talk about some card, rare or other, most people are going to look for it anyway so just post the link.

I see this all the time in the BST Ebay/Auction/Etc. section.

Some variation of: "I have this card/memorabilia on Ebay/Heritage/Memorylane/etc..."

No link, no picture, no ID, nothing.......you basically just gave me a job, to go search out your item.

Why even bother?
