Hmm I recognize the name MHoponHop as an Ebay seller whos specializes in non-sport sets. (Often very overprised as well). I wonder if these 2 cards are a form of buusiness card, or if the seller has more of these customized cards.
I wonder if these are listed correctly? 2 different users supplied the images for the "Thank You" and "Happy Holidays" cards. Whatever is decided only the Thank You card is being counted as part of this set tittled "2019 MHoponHop Thank You"
Should they stay or should they go?

The "set" name seemed better to be "Business Cards". Also, they seem more as a Promo (handed out with other orders) than oddball. I would not be offended if someone moved them back to Oddball.
Does that work better?

That is what they seem to me. Which is the main reason I decided to make a post about it after seeing the "set" in the "New Galleries" on the main page.

Really? These will be allowed on this site? Is MHoponHop andofficial card company? Aren't these cards a seller-produced business / thank you card. If these are allowed, we are opening the door for many other business cards.

They aren't buisness cards. This is a card company, and they issued these promos as a thank you to people who bought from them.
There are TONS and TONS of Non-Sport promos we don't have listed here. From what I've heard, the Allentown show that is held twice a year usually averages about 60 promos a show...99% of which never get listed here. There's a fairly good chance they will have some available at the first show of 2020 as well. Unfortunately for me BOTH shows conflict with stuff I can't possibly give up, so getting there and getting the promos will be a challenge for me.
Don't try to force sports ideals on Non-Sports cards. It's a totally different world and to be honest, one I don't have a full grasp on.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

I agree and vote for removal.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

Actually, Billy, I read your reply and until I did, I too was going to say removal. At first, I thought it was just an eBay seller who created these and sent them out with orders. I now understand that's not the case and to me, right here seem no different than the Santa Claus/Merry Christmas thank you cards that Pro Set put out in the 1990s.

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want. |
