Hobby terms that annoy you

To me it is easily Diamond cut. They are trying to make a severe flaw sound like a positive. Tilted cocked or miscut on an angle should be used it is a flaw don't try and make it sound like a positive.

Not unique to cards, but sole proprietors who refer to themselves in the first person plural.

This. “Aged reprint” is pretty awful also.

[Corporal Lance Boil]

"Pack Fresh" when describing a card. Somehow it just grates my nerves.

[A2000]

'Please PM or email for prices'

[Fballguy]

Not a term but a practice...

Listing an item auction style on Ebay with an opening bid at or above what the item will actually sell for. Why waste anyone's week? List it "buy it now" or best offer.

For anyone who also posts on CU you have to deal constantly with

I have poppage

I need poppage

Where is my poppage

Look at my poppage

[Fred]

Ok, what is "poppage"?

[HRBAKER]

"poppage"
"top of the pops"

Hey guys....and, PSA and SGC....listen here.

This set was NOT issued in "1948"

Nor is it a "1948-1949" set (it's not a Basket Ball set)....it's a BASEBALL set !

This set was issued strictly in 1949

Shut up. Just shut up. I find this one to be extremely pompous and a cry for attention.

I know others have mentioned it, sorry for the repetition, but this one irks me to no end.

[glynparson]

Calling the SGC holder a tuxedo.

[Mark17]

The one that makes me cringe is "set break." What do I care if a card I'm interested in was once in a set?

It sounds more like the seller is bragging, as if to say, "I have a complete set and am breaking it up." Well, congratulations to you, I guess.

We resent that remark...

[orly57]

When selling a card with an (oc) qualifier:
"An 8 with no qualifier sold for $x on Heritage last month."
As if somehow the two things were comparable.
