In the 90s there was a dealer who was a heavy smoker. His packages had an overpowering tobacco odor. A friend of mine who also bought from him would say he had to air the cards out in his back yard for a week.

Yep. Some items, such as publications and game worn jerseys and the like, really retain the odor of cigarette smoke.

"There will be no lower price ... funds are needed quickly due to family matter."

When the lowest need to go lower in order to sell their overpriced cards this is where they go: the attempt to guilt you into overpaying.

Criminey. . . . just saw "orb" in a new auction. Babe Ruth is about to "launch" an orb. Oh for godssake, give us a break and just say hit a ball. Please. I'm begging.

Never had that issue, makes sense though...

I didn’t know this was a word until today, but “cringey” is sitting with me like 3-day old gas station sushi.

Yeah, I always thought it was "cringe-worthy."

The term "auction house" seems overused to me. A Heritage, fine, but a guy running a small auction out of his rec room or office is not what I would think of as an auction house.

“1933 Goudey rookie card” of ....

Or T206 rookie card of ...

Unless it was his first card as a professional player. Not a rookie card!

The term rookie is another topic of debate...
