I agree that the pompous terms that auction houses use in their descriptions like obverse, extant, etc. are annoying at this point.
The term beater doesn't annoy me, but when it's used to describe a VG card then that annoys me. I'm proud of some of my beaters and trust me, no real beater can be graded higher than a 1. And a lot of 1's aren't even real beaters to be honest. Let's all keep this term to be used only to describe a true beater.
