A Factory Set is An entire set of cards that was packaged by the manufacturer for sale to the public. These sets usually include a distinct box with a security seal or inner-packing to secure the cards. Factory Sets generally sell for more money than a hand-made set or a factory set that was opened. As an investment it would be better to leave it wrapped, but as a collector you can't enjoy them.
you could use a hairdryer, or you could rip them up and leave them in the sun (the second option would work better - and if you actually liked them, you could glue them back together :))
Meat - no matter how it is wrapped or unwrapped - should not be left on the counter to thaw.
A Tiffany baseball card is a card from a Tiffany set - A high end set of cards, issued by Topps. These sets were identical to the regular issue set, except for the higher quality white cardboard stock and the addition of a protective UV coating. For more information on terms for baseball cards, and memeorabilia, I will leave a link to a Glossary Of Baseball Collectible Terms below.
Because they don't believe in the heart of the cards.
If you are drawing only two cards, the probability that they will both be aces is one in 221. ( (52 / 4) * (51 / 3) ) If you are drawing all the cards in the deck, one at a time, the probability that you will draw at least two aces in a row is much better than that, but how much better I leave for someone else to answer.
Here is the most comprehensive Glossary of baseball collectible terms on the internet complete with pictures, and cross reference links. There are many terms used in describing special baseball cards on this page as well as other baseball memorabila. I will be adding more words, terms and phrases in the coming weeks. I will leave a link below to the page.

The collectable value of a baseball card is reduced by the signature. The signatures is viewed by card collectors as a flaw in the condition of the card. After it is signed the value will rely on the value of the signature. This is why it is not a good idea to have an expensive card signed. Autographed baseball cards sell at about the price of a signed 8x10 photo or less or about 40 percent the value of a signed baseball (or less) A thin (fine) point Sharpie would be most preferred for the signature. A signature signed with Sharpie would stand out better. If the signature is too thick, on the smaller card, it might make for a sloppy signature, and ruin the display, lowing the price. The color that should be used would be a color that stands out in contrast to the baseball card. in most cases blue would be preferred. Using a ballpoint pen on a baseball card could work, and make for a better "clean signature" but, it could also leave an indent in the card.
