Well Done!

aeast317 · Sep 12, 2011

wow well done! i can't even get the drew storen /99 for that price :lol:
it shocks me how BAD people are at naming ebay auctions..

Dice-K Collector · Sep 12, 2011

Congrats, what did you search andrew Mucthen??? Lol.

D-Lite · Sep 12, 2011

It's almost like they tried to make the worst auction possible. Misspellings of the two key words and a title with no mention of auto/GU or anything. Wow, good job.

aaron41984 · Sep 12, 2011

Appears as though the seller may type with a lisp...

jdsingar · Sep 12, 2011

That's an amazing find. How in the world did you search that?

UMich92 · Sep 12, 2011

Great find. I'm guessing you include the description in your searches. And based on how poorly the listing is worded, I'll bet your search is something like "and* mccut* (au*,sign*,jer*)". The wildcards on the first/last name should pick up most of the misspellings and then the text in parens picks up variations on autograph, signature, and jersey. For those of us looking for specific cards that may have odd references, the wildcards are very useful. And as the OP has shown, very good for a finding a steal here or there. Congrats again.

I don't want to give out my secrets but I might as well. I often like to search for misspellings . My favorite is "al* pu* -pujols". I found a lot of auctions where Pujols was spelled Puhols or Pujlos etc. By putting the "-" in front of the correct spelling it only pulls up the misspellings. Another is ken* grif* -griffey*.

Very interesting, thanks. Didnt know about that search feature. Definitely some comical and interesting names out there. I used your "ken* grif* -griffey*" and found this one that gave me a laugh:

I can't imagine how many more "Duchscherer" cards I'll find with that search technique :lol:

~Nope, this is wrong. You should have messaged the seller to tell them that they spelled it wrong.

You should be ashamed for taking advantage of this poor, unfortunate seller~

Is there a specific reason you are bumping through four-month-old post or do you just want to be banned (Gilmore has said in the past been doing this will get you banned).

::facepalm:: what Calendar do you go by? This thread was started on September 12 2011...so to date it is only 83 days old
no where near 4 months (which is 120 Calendar days) and it was brought back to life because of the Epic one right here.

I was referring to in this thread from nearly 6 months ago. I also read that thread and, unlike many others decided that my opinions would be best kept to myself.
