It is a vague term that some bonehead made up, trying to sound cool.

I used to read this forum for years prior to joining and I saw the term "waterfront" being thrown around quite a bit, and that's why I started using it here. Anyways, I am going to stop because it is starting to drive some of you crazy!

I believe one of the other resident idiots "Coined" the term waterfront some time ago. As ridiculous as it was, it is still used today only on these boards

WOW, that's a lot of material off the left side, let alone the others. What a shame for such an already beautiful card.

Dont' worry, it's not you. It's not a commonly used hobby term, it never was a hobby term, and hopefully it never catches on and becomes a common hobby term.

You just have a few members here and there casually using the phrase, some of which are more active and vocal than others, so it creates this illusion of it being a hobby term.

It's supposed to imply "marquee" or "highly sought after" or "expensive" or "popular", similar to a waterfront property, conflating cards with real estate and blurring the lines between collecting and investing.

Let's simply stop using that term. Using it gives credibility where it is not warranted.

Just like "Billion dollar fraud." It may very well be at some point a billion dollar fraud but today, I don't think that's the case. Plus, the sky doesn't seem to be falling as the above term would lead people to believe.

Sky's not falling because the economy is booming and people are stupid. Enjoy your fake tulips

Yes sure I can. I’m only talking about the Hull Hockey Card.

Hull it doesn’t appear to be trimmed to me. Look at the borders sizes. All of them to me they all look the same. Full not trimmed. The corners have the same wear in the 6 St and SGC 88 it’s the same card I agree to that I do not believe it’s trimmed. Did they lay down corners yes.....would like to see in my hand the thinness of the paper at the corners. I 100% believe this card hasn’t been trimmed
