Hobby terms that you love
 

Might as well see what this wrinkle brings...

I love the term “beater”. It speaks to me.

My personal favorite is "paying strong."

"It's too rare for it's own good" and "It has a low POP of____"

Sterling :-)

Devil's coaster. The name I gave to an especially beat up 1933 Goudey.

The hourglass Ruth?

I have always liked " pack fresh".

Anticipating a shorter thread. That probably says something about society.

Buy the card not the holder

uncut sheet

A good write up in plain English and not salesman fluff. A lot less catchphrases and hyperbole.

I love the smell of a brand new REA magazine twice a year

I shipped your card today...

“You are the current high bidder.”

Hey, someday I will re-post that slimmed up Babe...he definitely has my heart.

Brian

I still like the term 'rounded corners'. To me it always meant the possibility of a cool card at a reasonable price.

Brian

Usually when I hear that, they ARE NOT the strongest payer...lol...good one though.

Your cart is empty but it doesn't have to be.

On second thought I should put that in the other thread.

Here's a few:

"Your offer has been accepted"
"You won! Pay now to receive..."
"ORDER SHIPPED"

New pickup.

Yes and for me that is usually followed closely by "You have been outbid. Follow the link to bid again."

Oddball and Grab bag

"Centered," especially when, in fact, it is.

"Happy Birthday! Here's a free pre-war card." :D

Happy Birthday could be replaced with a holiday ("Merry Christmas!") or really any type of celebration.

Disclaimer: I don't know if I've ever heard this term.

Pretty much anything that describes the card as not being a normal boring card.:D

You are the winner of Lot #xxx"

When I hear a person say I have some cards from the 50’s most are really nice some have Dog Ears!

Run for the hills !

'Thank You'
