You are not the only one who hasn’t heard the term waterfront. But then again I d only been collecting for 1/2 my life and on this Board for over 10 years.

It may have to do with soaking a card. But context seems off. Certainly not a commonly used term.

Just remember that for some waterfront = van down by the river

Government cheese used to be good, now it is that horrible fake stuff.

One time I actually bought imitation fake cheese. Just don't do it. All I know is; it was a yellowish substance.

Does "imitation fake cheese" mean it's actually real cheese?

Fascinating! Back in 2015, this guy tossed a bunch of 1958 Topps out on eBay that were freshly PSA graded and all were 8 or better. Close inspection of the cards revealed that 90% of them had flaws that would in my humble opinon have made them at best 7s or even lower. I wrote they guy a note and told him I thought he was peddling a bunch of PSA overgrades and he sent me back a berating note.
It all makes so much more sense now......!!

Oh man, does that bring up a memory. I went to my in-laws' house once just when my wife and I were dating and her grandmother put out some cheese. I took a chunk of what I thought was cheddar, popped it in my mouth, and nearly barfed. It was that processed fake crap. Little known fact: when you bite into it you hear a squeak.

Are you implying that mice don't eat that 'cheese' but the 'cheese' eat the mice?
