Edited because even typing his name in a forum is annoying
- When people post sports talk in this forum when a Sports Talk Forum exists. Many seem to think this is the only forum on the website.
- stock photos
Agree wholeheartedly with both of these

It's getting rather cold in the house at night and now the bobbleheads all want me to put on their little sports jackets. Crybabies. Hmmph.
frostbitten toes are no laughing matter, mister!

Great. Thanks. They read your post and demanded mukluks, too.
outsourcing.
A card that is graded 8 (oc) and is described as high end and the (oc) is conveniently left out of the title.

..agreed...and along the same lines.. listed as "centered"...and just went to one ebay page and saw.."super" "dead" and "great....centered"
..also a psa 7 listed as "could be a ....psa 8, 9 or 10"
....those who buy at low SMR but sell at high VCP
..listed cards at 150% to 2x VCP and never lower....awesomely named - "museum listings" by another CU member
...#1...after being bid up all night, throwing in the towel..then the AH calling the next day saying the high bidder mysteriously bowed out and i can "win" it at the high price.....yeah, ok...only fell for it three times in my 20's. They still call.
just looked up joelhitshow...228k listings..wow..never bought from him..bad store?
ok..got all that off my chest..thanks for listening

I can't stand when a seller describes a card in a less desirable TPG holder as a "crossover candidate" to a more desirable TPG holder. That is another way of saying - "I am willing to sell you this card for X and you can successfully cross the card over and now it will be worth 5 times X". We are all so lucky that there are so many generous offers currently on eBay.
Ah, yes. The generous eBay seller. "looks like a 10!" "regrade?" "undergraded"
Then there's my favorite "PSA 10?" on an ungraded card that is obviously not even a 7. actually, pretty much anything with a question mark is annoying.
The great thing about buying from 4SC, this NEVER HAPPENS!
In the course of every human endeavor since the dawn of time the risk of human error has always been a factor. Including but not limited to field goals, 4th down attempts, or multiple paragraph ramblings on a sports forum authored by someone who shall remain anonymous.

Sure it does: Link
when I make a priority overnight label and write, as requested, "2nd day service" on the box for psa to know the service level, but then someone at fedex takes it upon themselves to change the package level from priority overnight to their 2nd day service level. negating the entire purposes for both companies and possible time constraints of a deal.
here's a first for me:

On my very first sub, I was sending priority 2 day for a CC Renewal, and when I wrote 7 day all over the package, the lady says, you don't need priority for 7 day service, it'll be there in 2. I had to explain it was a message to the receiver, and asked if it would complicate anything. She said no, and thus far it hasn't.
Also...totally agree with most/all of the above. Question marks kill me. Especially on things like Heritage box topper packs...Mantle, Clemente, Aaron? When you can see the card thru the pack.
this should be an easy math question:
tom has 12 christmas racks. 1 of these racks has a mantle. he only lists 6 racks, however 1 has already sold. what are the chances you have in receiving the mantle rack.
explain your answer.

opposite of a pet-peeve as this basically makes me laugh.

Forget the Mantle. I'd stand on my head and travel by dogsled to get to those rare rack pack holders he's peddlin'. I bet the elves are working double OT.

To prevent this I address the label like this;

Zero. Plausible deniability in sellers favor. I'm not even sure you'd get the Mathews or Wynn.

Do bobbleheads even have toes?
But seriously one that is really getting on my nerves lately is "set break", which I bet half the time wasn't really a set break...just an excuse to keyword spam the word "set"
Oh yeah, and those who make the "I'm not a professional grader" disclaimer.

Really Dan? I don't know, I just can't get into them. I gotta cover that thing up with the remote control or a sandwhich or something.

I have no chance to get the Mantle, because I ain't buying any.

Sellers who sell NM/MT raw 84D rookies for $40 when the PSA 8 version will barely net you $20.
I think you mean "list for $40," not "sell"
"This pack is GUARANTEED unopen!"
Sure, but that would also include a resealed pack or a backroom reproduction.... still, guaranteed unopen.
I like to see guaranteed FACTORY sealed!
Or, "This pack is from a box or sealed case!" - as 100% of ALL packs are.... HELLO!!!
Oh, and other fan fav.... cello and rack boxes with the "GUARANTEED unsearched" claim!
Yeah, riiiiight!
