Something I hate about ballcard collecting

[zachtruitt]

I wasn't trying to be profound, I just think there are many ways to be involved in the hobby and no one is a better "collector" than anyone else. I don't think it's something that should be qualified with labels, that's all.

Everyone has their own reasons for being in the hobby and, at the end of the day, no one is keeping score.

I sold this card to this same seller last calendar year for $75. Do I win?

Will it sell for near what he is asking or is he on something?

I would say "a snowball's chance in hell" but idiots are rampant these days. Realistically, it is a $75-$100 auto.

Kind of what I was thinking, but wasn't sure?

The best advice is clear BIN's off your searches. They are a waste of time. 99% of them are trollers looking for brainless buyers with a lot of money (or registry builders waiting to be taken to the cleaners). Keeps your sanity and stick with .99 auctions where you will be shilled to death.

There's a '71 PSA 9 Ryan for sale at $2k more than it sold for 5 weeks ago. Trolling is not illegal; been happening since the stone age.

Do not under estimate that we've been in a bull market for 7+ years. When the downturn comes, these trollers, shillers and bidiots will be drowning in their greed.
