Paying $5.99 for shipping--and then receiving a PWE instead.

NFTs. What's wrong with all these people paying actual money for something that doesn't physically exist? There are no limitations to the stupidity of society.

The current use of goat....
Like many I "grew up" a while ago, and back in the day the goat was the guy who messed up - Like Merkle or Buckner.

The new thing just makes it confusing.

I might be the one that made that offer! It's not out of line sometimes. It's still over half of the comps . I have had plenty of offers accepted in that percentage range.

Yes, I vote hobby fraud as my grievance too.

Sellers hawking a rookie card slabbed "A" for $800 while comping it to an example graded a 10 that sold for millions of dollars.

"Make me an offer"

Here's my offer. Put a price on your card and I'll consider buying it.

Aaron Judge being named Yankees Captain...right after going on a cross country tour to see which team will give him the most money to leave New York. Doesn't exactly scream integrity for a team leader, does it?

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

The people BLEEPING complaining about everything in the hobby.

Ebay is going out of its way to help collectors not get screwed by counterfeit cards, altered cards, and resealed slabs for FREE. Yet many complain about it.

Card doctors conserving cards. Without them very few of those high grade vintage cards in your collection would exist.

What is or isn't altering a card. If you do anything to the card besides looking at it you are altering it so quit debating it.

The investors/influencers running up the card market. Why complain when without them your collection would be worth pennies on the dollar compared to now.

Being OK with your buddy being a card doctor but not others.

My complaining is done for now but not for long.
