I partially agree with this but the way modern cards are packed out it makes it a bit easier to find non-autographs by searching 'non-autograph.' I know it adds a few things to your search that you don't want to see, but I've stopped being annoyed by it.

I think searching by "non-autograph" would leave a ton of cards out of your sort as most dealers I see do not use that phrase. But if it works for you, great.

I also hate "Ebay 1/1" when I am searching for 1/1 cards, man, what phony crap that is!!!!!

L@@K!!!! Must see!!!!
 
Wanted: raw or graded pasteboard's from the iconic holy grail 1952T set for sell that are looking to find a good home? Should appear crisp and pack fresh (EX-MT++++++ or better) or graded 6.5+ by TPG with newer flip's. Must be dead-centered with razor sharp corner's? Clean card's between collector grade and blazer? Especially need extremely tuff common's that are HTF in high grade? Must be from a smoke-free, pet-free home and have great eye appeal (look better than the grade)? One's that could be certified high-end or are low pop in the hobby? "A" or slightly trimmed card's considered if a very rare card and priced to sell? Prefer to buy from an advanced collector? I seen some bad boy's that were deserving of attention because theyre VHTF centered, but the listing's had poor picture's of obverse and no verso scan's? Couldnt tell if they were repop's? I'm not a card expert or professional grader and am buying for my son's personal collection so need clear pic's? PM or email me with list/photo's/price's? Serious buyer so don't leave money on the table! Payment can be made via PayPal FF? GOD BLESS!!!!!

I tried, but I could not work "poppage" or "set break" in. :D

That is funny, you also forgot to add in that cards owned by relatives found in their attic/basement are among your favorites.:D

ALR-bishop 03-08-2018 09:23 AM

Very good Dave :):). Hope whatever cards you end up with get Monster Poppage

Are you interested in my Snow White Orbs?

Just saw a listing with "lethal corners". Good thing they put the card in a slab before it killed someone.

yanksfan09 12-15-2018 05:17 PM

Probably as lethal as a razor blade!

CMIZ5290 12-15-2018 05:18 PM

I agree Pat. "Razor sharp" corners is a better alternative....

Whenever someone lists something as having "razor sharp corners," I know it actually has butter knife corners.

It stopped being the "hobby when the Justice Department started sending "hobbyists" to prison. Let's retire the term "the hobby."

Pet Peeve
 
Since I collect Coupons, I have always wondered why the Coupons are listed as 1910-1919, Types 1, 2, and 3. Using that logic, shouldn't Goudey's be listed as 1933 through 1941 Types 1, 2, etc.? Playball 1939-1941 Types 1, 2, and 3?

"Last reduction before it goes back into the vault."

"Weekend special."

"Great investment opportunity."

"Undergraded"

"I'm into the card for $X."

Snapolit1 12-16-2018 08:41 AM

Any auction for a $30,000 item that has to recount for an entire catalog page the circumstances of Lou Gehrig's tragic death or the circumstances of Babe Ruth's upbringing. Or Jackie Robinson breaking the color line. I realize a lot of people buying $45,000 pieces of cardboard may not know these interesting stories, but they are old news to some of us.

Pasteboard.

Pasteboard.

Pasteboard 1,500,000 times over.

Nails on a chalkboard wouldn't be doing it justice.
