Most annoying items found while during key word searches on EBAY
Posted By: Patrick McMenemy
With things a bit slow on EBAY, I thought this might be a fun topic. I'm sure each of us has a routine of doing key word searches on EBAY to find our vintage items. As many of you are aware, I collect type cards of 1905-1915 era catchers including Roger Bresnahan, George Gibson, Johnny Kling, Red Kleinow, Chief Meyers, Ira Thomas, and Gabby Street. |

Occasionally i search for Bobby Grich stuff and theres always the same person who lists "The Grich that stole christmas" items,probably the reason theyve been listing the same thing for so long is its the GRINCH that stole christmas!...........and just the fact that topps coming out with the new t206 cards ruined that search(t206) i know i can search by pre-50 category but you still miss the occasional that are in the wrong category if you do it just that way |

The most annoying thing I have came about is searching for T206's after Topps came out with the new version. Now instead of finding all vintage T206's, about 75% are the 2002 version. |

I collect boxing cards. There is no boxing card category, so I have to wade through the boxing memorabilia area. Search for "card" there and there are a few companies with "card" in their names. Totally wrecks the search. |

I usually try to narrow down these lists by not searching descriptions (except when I really have alot of free time on my hands). Its also helps that they have the matching categories on the left side that allows you to "drill down". |

You can use a deleting tactic when searching for cards. For example, if you are searching for Meyers, Myers, you can place this in the search line |

I still haven't figured out a sure way to find interesting chess cards. But when I got sniped out of an auction (I couldn't be home) for 6, I looked on "My ebay" for "something like that" (or words to that effect), and I found thousands of chess BOARDS> So I typed "German chess cards" in the upper left hand corner, and found ONE AUCTION, with the exact same cards I'd just been sniped out of. GOODY. The sniper is "tomguy_99@yahoo.com" and we've been jockying for cards. He collects HUNDREDS of game used bats (I can just imagine his room!). If he doesn't try to win this batch, too, I'll know he's collecting and not hoarding to sell, and I may email him. |

I get the feeling there may have been a huge hoard of vintage German cards found recently. Tons of them jsut started showing up a few months ago on my search for Indian cards. |

If you search for T207, you'll get mostly T207 cards but you miss out on 75% of the cards which are listed as either T-207 ot T 207. When you put in "T 207" you get 95% junk as you get any card listing which has a "T" and the number "207" in it. GRRRRRR |
