That would make sense as shipping for a First Class package is up almost a $1 since Sept. 2021.

In related s/h cost increases, GMC is another "victim" of the ebay authenticity program now advertising separate s/h charges for orders that are split between going to the authenticator and the buyer. Ebay creates yet another win (I mean expense) for the buyer.

I am a fan of Morris. I have fond memories of Bill Henderson. And apparently being as stupid as I am I have bought from Dean too 😎

I've found GM descriptions to be spot on or understated at times. It makes sense for them to be accurate - they get great prices and I would assume have fewer returns.
They've sold a couple thousand cards for me this past year and generally, they graded the cards a bit more conservative that I did... and I'm fairly harsh. They got great prices even for the commons that allowed me to pay for a back operation for my 4 legged pal and pick up a nice '54 Red Heart Mantle. Neither was cheap, but a shout out to the University of Penn Vet School. Weinner Boy is "trouble walkin" again.

Bill Henderson was a regular dealer at the Philly Show when I first started going to it in the mid-90s. I bought plenty of cards from him when I was working on my Topps sets. He was always friendly and easy to deal with. From what I remember, he had boxes of cards of varying condition so if you were buying from him in person, you could see for yourself if the stated grade was accurate and worth the price.

Jay---I actually ran into him once in a St Louis card shop while he was buying out their inventory

I have purchased many cards from Greg Morris and never had a problem. They ship quickly and their grades are accurate.
Bill Henderson was also a great guy to deal with. Never had a problem with Bill either.

I bought many cards from Bill Henderson, the "King of the Commons". Helped me complete many a set. Also got many cards from Lou Reedy.

Greg Morris is a great seller. Accurate grading on his cards.

Bill Henderson always had a large banner behind his displays that read "Bill Henderson Cards - Always Buying." I was at his table once when a very young collector asked him very sincerely "how much do you pay for Bill Henderson cards?" Bill didn't get it until I pointed to his sign, then he had a good laugh. Bill was one of the few dealers who would trade. Two-fers as he called them. I completed a lot of sets with Bill with very little cash changing hands. Super nice guy.

I've likely purchased 70% or more of the 52 Topps cards I've needed to help me complete my set.
I've obviously slowed down greatly since I only need 4 to complete my set but I still watch his auctions all the time looking for other cards that pique my interest.
