"Rare," when a card really isn't, such as when used by an eBay seller and there are a couple other examples of the same card listed on eBay.

'Rare'
'A Rarity' 'Very Rare' All of the above used by a German seller of Olympic items on every single item he lists at overpriced starting bids and on items that I can find several other places. "PSA (fill in the number) none higher" - I see this on Olympic tickets that may interest me, but all of the people that collect it do not give a rat's anus about the PSA tomb. Most that collect would find it annoying and see no reason to justify the overpricing based on what PSA has to say. Never mind that they would not like the plastic tomb. 'UNIQUE" - if you don't know what the word means then don't use it moron!!! It means there is ONE and only ONE of this item in existence in the world and you will not find another one. There is this British seller I see list two sets of cards for the 2016 Olympics and he calls the sets unique yet he has 28 listings for each set.

A little off my own topic, but I love the guys who access the internet to tell you they can't pay you yet because they are out of town/country and will take care of it when they get home.

A cousin of "poppage" -- "sub." As in, "sub popped."
Then of course there is "rip" as a noun, as in "nice rip" -- referring typically to the opening of some 80s packs/boxes and pulling HOFers.

Not a hobby term but "Helmar" just makes me cringe. I like modern fantasy cards as much as anybody but for BLEEP sake don't use a real vintage companys name to make you modern reproduction stuff.

I love the subtle threats you run into: "last drop before eBay" and "if no takers it heads to auction". Oh no!

he did name his whole company (beer, chips) after Helmar, not just the cards.

The ones that make me cringe:
(Ultra) High End - as if that makes me want to buy it more Sharp or Crisp - for a card that's been trimmed and gets an "A" Pack Fresh - probably more post-war, but still annoying Investment Grade - Says who? Freshly graded - who cares Pop of 1 (when there are obviously more than one currently for sale) I can't say it's authentic for sure, so selling as a reprint (in other words, you know it's a reprint but want to sucker someone that thinks there's a chance) The worst of all, even though it's post-war SICK PATCH!!!

Centered (when it's plain to see that it's not)
PSA ready (what would make a card not ready for a trip to Newport Beach?) Rare (especially when they quote the pop of 550) PSA (when the card isn't PSA graded) Gorgeous (I've probably been guilty of this a time or 2, but it should really be reserved for women, not cardboard) |

“PSA?”
Yes, technically ANY card can be submitted to PSA, but thanks for reminding me (and trying to game my search results). |

Wow, how I hate running into a bunch of these when I am looking around Ebay. Damn lie, they are not 1/1, phony crap.
