what does it mean when someone types.... for example mike piazza 2/6 7 days...i know that means it took 7 days to get an auto but what is 2/6 or 1/3 or 4/4, etc? just trying to learn, thanks

well 2/6 means you recieved 2 items signed out of the 6 you sent.
hope this helps

Exactly, I'll put it into math terms in case if that helps. (I'm math minded, so this is how I see it, but means the same thing)

Number of items signed
-----------------------
Number of items sent

Sometimes players also like to keep items or switch items. Kept items I usually note, but switched items is generally referred to as 0/1, 1/1.

very respectfully,

I sent 2 cards to Pat Neshek, and I got 4 minor league cards back, so he messed up the envelopes
