Yeah, that's a Drentism from way back. LOL. Hopefully he isn't still describing cards as the color of the Hawaiian sunset, I remember that one from way back when.

It's probably more technically correct than "cardboard" but it is such a distraction in the text. Like a wise-ass winking at you after a dry joke or something. Amateurish, and suggests the author doesn't really take his job all that seriously. An unwanted reminder -- ironically from an auction house -- that you're spending too much money on baseball cards!

I think you're being too harsh on Brian. He's just having fun with it is my guess, who gives a damn about the description anyway? At least he isn't telling people a PSA 8 Koufax is on the verge of being a 200K card.

Did your wine come from a glass bottle or did it emanate from pasteboard?

Yeah, that's fair. But, if it was my consignment, I'd rather he play it straight.

"Extant". That's the one that gets me. It doesn't make me queasy, but it's annoying for some reason.
