Hilarious! Never quite heard it put that way but there are a few of those around.

I don't like holes in baseball cards.

Besides front paper loss, writing on front, or a sizable hole:

I hate looking at a card in a slab that is ridiculously overgraded. I always let someone else buy that card.

I can't stand pin/punch holes. My eyes are always directed right to them which is a total distraction.

I can tolerate nearly any defect depending upon a cards rarity, but hate writing as words on a card. I'm okay with drawing like adding a moustache or cigarette, but if it's a name or an autograph I'm out alltogether very quickly. I have no explanation for as to why I feel this way.
