Sort of related to this thread - why do some sellers use the phrase "Set break" when advertising individual cards? As if that lends some gravitas to the listing?

It's all BS shtick...no different from used cars, or anything being sold.

But the rule is this: if I have it and try to sell it, it isn't worth crap. But if YOU have it, it's incredibly desirable and worth a fortune. It just is what it is.

Keyword spamming....sellers place commonly used search terms in their titles to attract more views. IE. "PSA 10 ?"

My favorite is when they put PSA 10 in the title, but then it's either ungraded, or graded by some bucket shop. Meaning some bucket shop other than PSA.

Not sure if it still works, but including "set break" in your title used to allow the card to bypass ebay's authentication process for some reason.
