It is a rare day when I don't hear or see "reach out" multiple times. Cringe.

For auctions, I always hated the term "blazer."

I don't know about auction descriptions, but can we all agree to get rid of the one word I hear 5000 times a day, "amazing".

I see "undergraded" all the time but for some reason never see "overgraded".

I guess these are terms, not single words, but...

'Bright, crisp and clean'

'Presents higher than it's technical assessment'

'Exceptionally strong example'

One of the few I've seen called overgraded, and rightly so - BST got it dead-on.

That's well and good for the bidder, but if I'm the consignor I would be livid. There is nothing to be gained for the consignor with such a description.

What's this use of 'gathering' instead of collection? It makes me think the cards come together at night to dance by the light of the moon.
