Reading through recent threads, one thing is beyond obvious...
IT IS TIME TO BUMP THE HECK OUT OF THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!!!! For the love of God, use a different word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: |

Thanks for reviving this iconic thread. :D |
And remember, fans...the next time you sell a card or "oooh" and "ahhh" over one someone else has, don't hesitate to use another worn out, over-used, cliche..."it has great EYE APPEAL!!!!!!"...as if it's a Rembrandt or a Van Gogh!

Irregardless of the fact...
Swell idea to make a drinking game of it. Iconic Bingo. Pick some of the words that have been mentioned in previous posts (iconic, GOAT, super, literally, etc.) and then go watch a live case/box break on Youtube. Hammered by the second pack. |
The bump for this thread should be a sticky with letters 10 feet high!!!!!!!!!
The constant trotting out of that ridiculously overused word is nothing short of a frickin' disease that keeps getting worse every day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
The superfluous 'a' as in 'he fields like a Willie Mays.' Why not 'he fields like Willie Mays?'
|
This post is literally super iconic!
Can we please also ban "you know what I mean"? Andy |
Eye Appeal.....is catching up fast!

From the broadcast booth ---
physicality and athleticism seem to have permeated the play by play and color dialogue in the past few years. 10, 20, 30 & 40 years ago both physicality and athleticism were virtually non existent. It must be due to evolution of the broadcasters. I'll bet the players haven't changed.:eek::D

The Holy-Grail of all threads

"I'll take an Iconic combo."
"Would you like to Iconicize it?" "No thanks, this thread has already done that." Brian (I would like to add a side of Tantalizing Tater Tots please) |

What gives me the dry heaves is the use of iconic and awesome in the same sentence when describing a card.

I know it’s a small complaint from an old man screaming at clouds, but the one that bugs me, especially when it is used by sportscasters and frequently so, is the phrase “at that point in time”. Like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. A “point” in time is gone before you can utter it, and the phrase is superfluous– use one or the other please. It may on very rare occasions be necessary to differentiate between a point in time and a point on a plane, but otherwise the meaning of “point” is readily inferred from its usage. I hope I made my point.
From the Department of Redundancy Department: Not long after I moved to Arizona many years ago a sportscaster actually was bemoaning some team’s performance by saying they “have lost their last five straight consecutive games in a row”. I kid you not. |

I try to avoid modern slang and mis usage of English, both speaking and writing, but

This thread is "timeless" and "perfectly centered". :D

As if everyone who collects sports memorabilia will be wrestling with each other to obtain this item, and the thousands who don't get it will end up in therapy, with their collections never truly complete. |
