#1 pet peeve phrase: "God Bless". Where in the Bible does it say anything about baseball cards?

Others that make me grind my teeth are the pompous words:

exemplar (example)
extant (existing)
verso (back)

And while it is not a phrase, any listing with 500 words from Wikipedia about a HOFer. If you don't know who Walter Johnson is, probably not a good idea to buy the card. And these info-mercial listings invariably lack a back scan of the card.
