To me, it's disingenuously touting the attributes of a player or issue in a purportedly neutral fashion, when the undisclosed intent is to pump up the price in order to sell what you own. Similar to a pump and dump stock scheme.
Not the same, as Phil points out, as aggressively marketing a card where everyone knows to take what you're saying with a grain of salt.
