Additionally, I tend to call BS when every single description claims that at least one facet of the card is "worthy of a higher grade." Just ONCE, I'd love to read a description that says something like, "Generously graded a PSA 5 by PSA, the rounded corners and 65/35 centering appear worthy of a VG/EX assessment."

you forget 'candidate for a bump' and when emailing offers you get back from the seller 'I may send in the card to psa myself' just send it in already..
or when really poor condition card, 'aside from the hole at the top and the crease down the middle tremendous eye appeal for the grade'
