for example...show your favorite hank aaron card. poster posts spic and span aaron touting how rare it is as compared to the topps and thereby should be much more desirable and valuable.
I concur. If you're talking about what aspects of a card you find aesthetically pleasing or what niche of your collection it fits into or when/how you acquired it, that's just discussing why you like the card. If you're talking about why other people should like it more than they do, that's pumping.
