Low Pop

Minty

Not sure why you keep bringing up these type of trades when members have posted how they have done them.

I know I have been on both sides of those type of trades with other members. In my experience the person with the hand full of cards has to have some extra value on their side to make it happen.

So everyone lists what they have on what annoys them....

and out of EVERYONE, i get criticized on my opinion? I didnt know there was a wrong answer in stating what terms annoy you..

because i may of stated it before which you read in another thread months or years ago doesnt mean i cant say it on this thread. Lot of new people may of not read whatever i wrote before.

alway a counterargument to everything....what some poeple find annoying, others may not.. ( you hate it when people say 'make offer', im sure others disagree) .but i dont see anyone in all of these posts on this thread criticize anyones' choice except you with mine.....

I am still waiting for someone with a 1993 ruth psa 4, or 1951 mantle etc.. asking for 50 or however many needed 20-40 dollars cards for a trade on b/s/t...

I think it has to do with the population of cards graded, as in pop report. I'm guessing.

I thought poppage is when your grades pop - become available online.

Poppage = A TPG just posted the grade(s) on the card that were submitted and generally you don't have the cards back in hand yet. Your cards "popped" in the TPG.

TPGs annoy me as well...all of them.

Speaking of 1/1 - though it has been the topic of another thread...

one-of-one or 1/1 or 1 of 1

when used to describe, for example a card serial numbered #67/250

just because there is not another 67th copy out of the 250 printed.


Also, 'Game-Used'...

Default 1949 LEAF set

Hey guys....and, PSA and SGC....listen here.

This set was NOT issued in "1948"

Nor is it a "1948-1949" set (it's not a Basket Ball set)....it's a BASEBALL set !

This set was issued strictly in 1949

Huge borders would be important to me as a buyer, especially on something like a high end t206 card. It means it's at least very likely the card hasn't been trimmed.

I believe this term is used when you pop a higher grade than expected, or get a card to bump. I don't spend much time on CU though.

Shut up. Just shut up. I find this one to be extremely pompous and a cry for attention.

I know others have mentioned it, sorry for the repetition, but this one irks me to no end.

Jesse, the point of the post is that the word is “borders”, not “boarders”.

Ahh i see, not sure why I typed boarders in my reply but yes that makes sense. Although I'm not sure I would consider common spelling or grammatical errors relevant in a discussion of annoying hobby terms.

Half the regular pre-70 vintage lot sellers on ebay routinely offer their EX +/- cards, which through experience means VG.

My other favorite is: "overall an EX lot, I saw no creasing, but I may have missed a few"....this just means that at least half the lot has some sort of creasing and overall the lot is in Vg to VG-EX shape.

"Just a few less than EX" actual quote from the listing of a 150 card lot that arrived Saturday...this is indeed translated to it's actual meaning of "half the cards are VG due to creasing and the other half are actually in EX shape."

EX cards are supposed to be CREASE-FREE! There is NO subjectivity in creasing, a card either has a crease OR it does. If it does have a crease, it is not supposed to be in EX shape.

For some reason this is very frequent: If you have multiple T206 cards you have "T206s" not "T206's".

I believe their error may have been that they thought a '1948' copyright date meant it was issued that year...and this common misconception is further perpetuated by third-party graders.

All that being said, I am certain you are correct and I would never consider dis-agreeing with you.

Not sure it's come up yet -- "the bay" for ebay. HATE that.

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!

Default Well at least

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

Completely agree. It is just sellers trying to use technical jargon to put a spin on their items.
