No hobby term offends me. Just like the English language, everyone has their own way of talking.
About the only thing I sometimes get perturbed at is auction descriptions. On one end, you got Bill Goodwin, who writes a 500 word essay on a particular ballplayer. On the other end, you have Memory Lane, with their one word quips "BLAZER", "GET IT!", "SHARP SPLINTER (in regards to a Ted Williams card). Seems like we could find a happy medium between the two.
And PWCC with their "worthy of consderation" line...when they are auctioning 4 of the exact same Nolan Ryan PSA 9 cards at the exact same time....It bothers me when I am consigning one of those 9's and see 3 more of the exact same grade right along side it. Doesn't make mine feel so special (and of course, it winds up lagging behind the other 3, sometimes to the tune of hundreds of dollars).
