The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The statute of limitations with reference to resale tax deed relates to resale tax deeds issued by one with authority to sell the land at a resale and to issue a deed. They do not relate to resale tax deeds issued by one who did not have authority to sell the land at a resale and to issue a deed. Unless a resale tax deed was executed by one with authority to sell the land at a resale and to issue a deed, it is in legal effect a mere scrap of paper and it is not a resale tax deed, although so denominated therein and although it has the general appearance thereof.””
