In the other thread I created today (What do you like about this hobby?), Daze_fan posted quite a few things his do not like about the hobby. And, many of them were valid complaints. While many things make this hobby wonderful, many negatives do exist which take away from the experience.
So, here's a topic for members to express what they do not enjoy about this hobby. TCC: What do you NOT enjoy about this hobby?
For me:
1. Over-use of the 1/1 label. For example, I can't stand eBay items, trading topics, etc that label a card a '1/1' when it is not.
2. Impatient traders. This includes collectors who post a trade/sell topic, only to 'bump' it 15 minutes later asking 'NO WANTS THIS??!!?', etc.
3. Collectors who do not appreciate another person's generosity.
4. Redemptions. If a card company cannot deliver a card, it should not promise it to collectors.

5. Redemptions
4.1/1s
3.People Who want more than what the BV is, For Ex: A Cabrera auto BV 40, they want BV 60 Because Cabrera is an all star or somthing
2. People who dont have ALL of there PC in there PC collection, and then you ask for it and they say it is PC. For EX: I want a Cabrera auto that is in Baseball FT section of a bucket, and when i ask for it, They say it is in the PC, Well they should put it in the PC collection Album
1. The Over Use of High End on a Baseball, football, or Basketball Single, It is ok if they say the Box is high end, that doesnt bother me, but what bothers me is when they say a Not Very good Card is High End just because it came out of a High End Product, For Example: A Marcus Giles Auto, or a Sena Casey auto out is pulled out of Ultimate, and it books 30-40 at the Most, Is that high end.

QUOTE(STLcardinals888 @ Jan 21 2008, 05:58 PM) Like Black That was one of the sets I thought of. No offense to the player, but who wants to pull a Melvin Mora autograph out of a $200+ product?

QUOTE(skatalite @ Jan 21 2008, 06:02 PM) The death of the masterpiece. Lack of low-end products for children. Expensive products with sticker autographs. Expensive products flooded with GUs of players no longer in the league. Thanks Richard For Pointing that out. Because today i had to spend 95 BUCKS worth of my Christmas Money at the card shop, for nothing good except a PC auto, So i wish they would come back out with like a Product that has nice GU, but is kinda cheap.

Just to post me thought from the other thread here, and a few more.
People who use the words "Hit" and "Come strong" and ESPECIALLY '56K/DIAL UP BEWARE!!!".. I have dial-up, i never have a problem with scan(s) loading
People who complain they got nothing out of a box.. Umm, you got a bunch of cards, dont say you got nothing because you did'nt get something you can profit off of. Dont like it, dont buy it anymore
people who only want GU and auto, only to have them complain that Gu are garbage.
people that wont tyrade you one of two cards because it's not worthwhile for them to waste the postage.
( on a side note.... I see a few here that state they wont trade if it's under an X amount, well those are the greedy people out to make a buck if they are too cheap to spend a 1.38
People that do not read the entire post and ask you stupid questions.. I.E. 1. Will not break up... " I only need the XXXX card" 2. Please check my bucket or site... "what are you looking for?" 3. FS ... "would you trade it?"
People who have a card you need, and try to hold it hostage from you because you show interest. You know, you need a card for a set, someone has it, they want extra for it, or want to make a larger trade because they want something 10X's it's value.
I could go on and on.
Looking to finish the sets listed on my site and the following: 2005 Donruss Champions GU 2003 Topps KaneboI require scans for any card I trade for.Also looking for these players: Michael Barrett Reed Johnson Eric Daze John Elway (No auto or GU) BlackhawksI will always consider Vintage in trade from before 1975 , Any sport DO NOT OFFER TO SELL ME CARDSIf you have less than 10 Trades you must send first unless you can show me great referencesIf your user name is this color I am afraid I'll have to pass on any proposed transactions at this time.

QUOTE(19th Century Indiana Jones @ Jan 21 2008, 08:56 PM) Today's cards are manufactured AS PERFECT already! But many aren't pulled in perfect condition. Numerous sets are dinged out of the pack (2007 Topps football for me, Turkey Red, etc) plus centering can be a large problem when grading 'new' cards.
