Well, you did list this incident in the complaints/vents/peeves/annoyances thread, so the logical conclusion is that you consider it to fall into that category.

Fair point!!!
I guess I was just reading this thread for the first time and saw the post by another member about getting all their spam after buying one thing... just added my experience of being blocked and still getting all their spam, even years later.
Failed attempt to inject some humor into a thread about negative things!!!
On the bright side, it did bring about an annoyance...
When people over analyze your punctuation and writing style to assign your feelings for you... yeah, that's pretty annoying, lol
Life is short, collecting cards is fun, don't take everything so seriously

ok, good point....so i updated the title with "funny observations" to add some positivity....to which I'll add...
1. When they list a PSA 8 card for sale at a near PSA 9 price and say.."It was an 8.5 before i broke it and had it regraded, came back an 8, its a beaut and really should be a 9, don't know what they were thinking and failed to bump it. Check out the scans. (thats why I'm listing an $800 for $1800) "....umm, seems to me should be in the 8s...
...
2. subtle brag when selling a PSA 8 and states "its an awesome card worthy of a bump, prob will be a 9 if you resubmit....I do have two 9's at home but they aren't for sale"....ummm, ok....i have a couple puppies at home but not for sale.
Interested in higher grade vintage cards. Aren't we all.
btw...I looked back at the first post when starting this thread....was that the first sign of the "buying group"?....when did they start......oh, if we knew then what we...
.....is this a vent or a positive (half full or empty)?....looking back at VCP.....and seeing a card i bought for $3,000 i then sold years later for $5,000..Great!!!...but then seeing 8 months after that it sold for $15,000......ugh!!

That last one... YEP!!!
Can't tell you how many times this year I wish I still owned my 1987 Fleer Michael Jordan PSA 10.
I bought it for $672... sold it in 2015 in a private transaction for $1800, which I thought was a great profit... only to watch them sell consistently this year in the $4000-6000 range
Eric, that is a tough one to swallow but the way you gotta see it is that at the time, it was a great deal and investment and you came up way ahead of the game. Kinda makes me wonder too as if I could have sold mine for 5,500-6K and then just have bought one of the last two that sold for 4K. That would have been amazing but you never know which way the hobby will go although safe to say Jordan is a safe bet.
This is more of a laugh, throw ur hands in the air and say..what are ya gonna do?? just laugh it off....
Watching #1 Alabama vs #3 Florida State the first weekend of college football season.....missed it last Saturday night at 8pm (when it was on & didn't DVR it).....Somehow avoided all scores, texts, tweets, the notorious buddy who loves to spoil, working with Tide, Seminole fans 50-50, etc---All while living deep in S.E.C. country, & minutes from Arthur Blanks new stadium.... until the 7 a.m. Sunday ESPN rebroadcast!!!!...yea made it, lucky me!!
...right off the bat at 7:01 a.m. ESPN scrolling the top 25 college scores at the bottom of the screen while the game is on!!...the entire game!!!....Brilliant!!!...ugh....(sorry, had to vent cause everyone sleeping)...and my buddies on here before the day gets started, don't text me or post in the next hour...oh, see KC just logged off... ha
...ok, I'm over it, I feel better and am thankful for my family and friends...have a great weekend....thanks for listening

Listing a card for $600 obo on eBay and getting offers like $25/$50/$100. I realize that there is a setting where you can auto decline below a certain amount, but to bid that low on an item is like going to an open house on the market priced at $400k and offering them $165k.
Potential buyer asks"can you take that one card out of the 47 card lot and sell it to me for $2 and $2 shipping?" Sure, I will make a special trip to the post office, end my auction, modify my listing and take more pictures for an end result of. .46 cents. All for you!!!!! Sorry, nothing seems to be selling now and I am bitter!!
Since its the holiday season, those in the right lane who race to pass then get in front of you or those sitting at a stop sign, driveway, side-road and pull out in front of you.......then both decelerate to 10 mph below the speed limit in the right lane.....what was the hurry? couldn't wait 3 extra seconds?........ok, done venting and back to shopping

I would say the blatant disregard for the B/S/T forum rules has me a bit down these days, along with the subsequent lack of monitoring by the moderators.
Deans Cards.This guy owns everything and I feel he has inflated the market .His prices are overblown imo and his product just takes up room on the searches without selling anything.$2600 for a 1976 Topps Set.
Come on lets get real OK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still think it is funny that even he had to RAISE his prices during the tremendous uptick in the market in 2016. Him and that other looney-bin that has a bazillion listings priced 2-3 times the market.
The fire symbol next to a card in the description as though I didn't realize Aaron Judge was remotely gifted.... and that this card was hot.....and then not leaving reciprocal feedback to successful transactions.
Not really pertaining to the hobby, but I hate when you walk into a convenience store, or a gas station and you got stuck behind someone screwing with lottery tickets. It doesn’t matter if I leave home early for work or not, it seems like it’s always a wash for me due to getting stuck behind someone that doesn’t know what they are doing, didn’t completely scratch the card off or whatever. I don’t play. Please be courteous of people that just want to get in and out. I always said that there should be a separate line just for that...
Always looking for OPC "tape intact" baseball wax boxes, and 1984 OPC baseball PSA 10's for my set. Please PM or email me if you have any available.
I understand, depending on volume, not deleting the cert from your registry for every single card you sell, but when you sell an item, and if the buyer subsequently fills out the request on PSA's site that automatically sends the email to the former owner asking them to delete the cert, and you as the buyer additionally also write a message to the former owner asking him to do so, and they say they will (but still don't!), then please don't make us as the buyer have to go through the trouble of scanning the front and back of the item and emailing the images to PSA in order to complete the process. Can we all please commit to deleting certs once sold and requested for deletion? I know it doesn't take an immense amount of time to scan and email images, but I don't feel it should be my job as the buyer to ever have to go through that procedure.
ebay does not seem to care about the way these 2 items are listed by a zero-feedback seller. I reported them a couple days ago but they're still up. Interesting to see that "PSA 10" and "BGS 9.5" are just terms you can put in your title even if they have no relevance whatsoever to your items. The "seller" did not reply to my message of inquiry:
That's a real slab, they used them prior to the current model to accomadate thicker patch cards. You can send it in for reholder if you prefer and have it in a normal sized PSA holder.

when you have a 10 day auction, someone bids 4 times throughout the week and wins then immediately cancels their order
This is funny ! Good chance it was already a PSA reject !
