This too, is my pet peeve. What gives? It isn't necessary to support 3M by using a roll of tape on every mailer. At least bend the end under so I can try to peel it off.

This is another one of mine! One strip of scotch tape across the top loader with one of the edges tucked under so you can try and get the tape off. Another is someone who trys to shove a 150pt card in a 100pt toploader and the toploader looks like it's going to explode.

I hate it when people who have no interest in bidding on my auctions are allowed to watch my auctions. I don't mind if someone watches my auctions if they plan on bidding. What's annoying is when someone who has the exact same item as I do up for auction watches my auction knowing full well they have no intention of bidding. They can view my item as much as they like without needing to watch it. SO ANNOYING!

I am guilty of that. I like to watch some of the auctions. Like that Strasburg card. Wanted to see how much it went for. Also sometimes I intend to bid but the bid goes higher than I want to spend. I don't mind if people watch my auctions. But I did get a question about a card. It was written in French which I don't read. Had to copy it and used an online translator.

With the Strasburg card I understand. As a collector, I'd be curious about a card like that too. I watch cards like that when I'm interested in bidding, but once the bids go out of my price range, I unwatch it. It's just courteous. I'm not against people watching my auctions, just against people who are selling the same item as I am watching with no intention of buying. It's not like I have a Strasburg Auto up there, many watchers can be expected...but my little $10-$20 auctions aren't anything to holler at let alone pay any extra attention to.

1) People who believe their card or cards are so much better than yours. Yet for some reason want to trade that wondrous piece of cardboard for a couple of your pieces of garbage. <img border="0" align="middle" alt="emoticon" src="http://beta.beckett.com/css/default/images/Emoticon/39.GIF" /> <br />
<br />
2) When people put more importance/emphasis on the label of a graded card than the card itself.<br />
