After cataract surgery my reading vision took a great hit and that made seeing anything in fine print on cards extremely difficult for me.

Dealers who don't price their cards. If I'm gonna invest time looking through your stock, I don't want to put it all back because your pricing is way out of line.

Mostly PAYING for shipping and handling. I find packaging cards that I don’t want on my fs/t fun. Satisfying knowing cards I don’t want are going to someone who does want them, while also getting cards I do want in return.

My eBay store.- Be sure to check it out! FOR SALE/TRADE: View my profile for details! If there's a certain player you want, ask me about them, I'll probably have a card of their's that I'm willing to trade but haven't marked on my FS/T list. For more specific info, visit profile or message me. |

Postage / shipping & handling when it is the same or more expensive than the card itself. Which means I pass on the card and wait for it to appear on COMC, at a show, or with another seller that I can bundle purchases with.

Cards listed in my collection are not for sale or trade |

Yep, organization. And that is driven by limited space. I keep adding, but my place is still the same size. So it takes me forever to get things put where they belong. That and accidently buying things I already have because my accountability takes a back seat. I buy based on the holes in my spreadsheet and sometimes what my SS says and DB say don't quite match......

My least favorite part is the people that are only in the hobby to make a buck on MOJO HITZ and stuff like that. If all you want to do is make money, there are PLENTY of better better and safer investments out there than cards. I wish they would all go to the stock market and leave cards for the people that actually love them.

United States Postal Service!!! The time it takes now for even a "Ground Advantage" package to arrive is slower than it's ever been. Some PWEs are taking over 30 days to arrive, they need to remove "Service" from their name, service no longer exist!! I won't get started on all the price increases that occur every few months. I remember when prices only went up every 2-3 years. While talking to a supervisor at my local PO, he said, "It's a shame our service has dropped so far, even though our pricing for those services is higher than it's ever been." He's going to retire soon and one of the last in my PO that really cares.

Earlier today I knocked over an open box of cards and a bunch of cards spilled out and I had to reorganize them... thankfully it was a box full of players that I have a lot of cards from, so organizing them again was easier. But I swear the moment that box tipped over my heart stopped.

For me a lot of the times i am having to use my phone to look at the card numbers. My eyes are getting worse every year. So i am hoping eye surgery will fix the problem
Heck i cant even see the dates on coins and paper bills like i used to be able too. I guess thats my dislike back in the day card numbers were easy to see now it seems like they are getting smaller just to put more junk on the backs of the cards
