Mark It Zero Smokey

HAS THE WHOLE WORLD GONE CRAZY!? AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE RULES!?


While trolling around ebay looking for game used and autos of Indians players I ran across one of Gellman's favorite kinds of sellers. It's the first time that an auction I was interested in was advertising a 1/1 when it clearly was not. I decided to fire off a question to the seller to see what his justification would be. Here is that exchange. (My misspelling included in the interest of full disclosure)


Me: "This item is no more a 1/1 than a 7/9 would be. Why is it advertized as a 1/1 in the description?"


Seller: "I DIDN'T MAKE THE RULES, THAT THE WAY CARDS THAT ARE THE FIRST ONE MADE,OR THE LAST ONE MADE ARE CONSIDERED. FOR SOME REASON THESE TWO CARDS ARE MORE SOUGHT AFTER. M.C.M."



So there you have it. We can all stop complaining about sellers calling cards 1/1 when they are not. IT'S THE RULES!
MARK IT 1/1 GELLMAN!

Can I get a copy of the rules? Is my 1150/1450 Rascoe Parrish Pristine auto a 1/1 because it is the only 1150/1450 made?
