And let the sellers begin taking advantage..
I just love watching the bay when a new release hits and how some sellers will list everything as a SP, sometimes with a question mark as to assuade their feeling of guilt for knowingly passing off a base card as a possible SP.
My favorite today was a '13 GQ green mini numbered to 99 and within the title the seller puts "RARE ?" I mean, who the hell is he asking, us, himself?
Just list the darn cards, if they are rare the market will tell you in the final price.
Not so much a rant, I'm enjoying watching this product hit the market, made a couple deals already for some mini's and if I ever get back home to see them and the rest of my collection.....I've been buying on credit for the last several weeks, I need to get home to sell some stuff to pay the damn bill before it's too late

I love it when a seller is using the "Rare" tag, but has 3 more of that same item for sale himself. I guess that's why their so damn ?rare? doorknob...you must have them all.

Hey, I didn't think GQ was released for another couple of weeks, right? I know a few days before, some are jumping the gun, but isn't it a little too soon?

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

Right there with you on that one, never heard of it before.
Though I do find a lot of the extra nonsense annoying in titles, I think the one that I find really lame is "ebay 1/1". I've even seen it creep into buy/sell/trade threads on various message boards. It's either a 1/1 or it's not. To say "ebay 1/1" just makes people sound ridiculous.
