Probably just the endless debating about how expensive cards are compared to this decade or that decade.

Im right there with you on no price, another thing that I despise is a price from 2 yrs ago (went into a card shop, that only priced cards from when they were released....so they had it for two years at 150 and that card can be bought today for around 5-7 and they insisted it was a 150 card, needless to say I passed and returned the stack I was gonna buy to him. 

50983 different parallels of every base set, insert set, and then lets turn it around and make a separate release but its the exact same card, with more parallels, but this time it has a snowy background.

Oh and to pile on from my posts this morning...anything to do with pricing.

For me, two things.

As a set collector, getting down to high series common players where you need to shell out $20 to $200 each to complete the set.

As a player collector, the inordinate amount of post retirement cards for anyone with a semblance of a career.

I have to completely agree on both here. My 60s sets are down to mostly just these at this point. And as I was recently compiling my PC wants it still boggles my mind how many legends still get cards to this day. 

 the endless debate of what set should be next, and where/when to use supplies.I never seem to have enough. (although, i did just pick up 25 3inch binders while on vacation in Florida, for $20)

now my problem becomes storage, ugh.

Especially with those little CMP codes on the back of cards. 

YES! I went to a card show and pick out some cards I really liked. Middle value of not high priced names (Jeter Downs and Sam Howell) at first the guy said $55 and then he did a double take and priced them again and said 25. I guess it need good then. 

People not replying to messages or offers.   

The top one are the ones who makes the offer or ask about the cards.    I accept or reply, and they never reply back.  No commutation. 

Before I found the database, I would kick myself any time I would treat myself to a purchase and find out I've already got 3 of those. 

The site here has really helped me know what I have and kept me from repeating purchases that wouldn't add anything new.
