A homonym of that term:

154 b. Poptometrist

Collector who drones on endlessly about the PSA Population Report statistics (aka "Pop Count") for a certain card. The Poptometrist tends to place particular emphasis on this number when it is advantageous for them to do so, while marginalizing this number when the opposite is true. Most Poptometrists consider themselves sport card "investors." However, they are extremely risk-averse and often resort to questionable tactics (such as fraudulent eBay returns) when their short-term speculation strategy goes awry.
