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.

From now on, the saying Greatest Of All Time is stricken from popular use, and will be replaced by All Time Greatest. Thus the new acronym will be ATG, eliminating the goat/GOAT confusion.

People selling cards, especially on ebay, and not showing the reverse.

People calling card collecting a "hobby". It's gone WAY beyond a hobby, unless you're filthy rich! It's like saying collecting antique automobiles is a "hobby"!

It's flat out investment (or gambling, if you will) at this juncture.

Merry Christmas to all my fellow "hobbyists" on the board!

Eric
