It's funny, while visiting tables at a show out here a year or two ago, a guy from GM cards was present and pretty aggressively looking to buy stuff. Chatting away, repeatedly mentioning Greg Morris cards, stating "ungraded cards only," showing binders of stuff he picked up that day, etc. It was like sitting back and watching a used-car salesman employ silly 'Salesmanship 101' techniques. Some sellers were obviously thinking, "Is this guy serious???" He is/was undoubtedly one of the GM buyers mentioned.

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