"tough in high grade"
"extremely tough common"
incredibly rare pop card"

It's surprising that they don't talk themselves into keeping the card

"The Hobby"

When it is used all I can hear are fingernails going across a chalk-board.

Not a term but a big pet peeve, when I make an offer to a seller and they ask me to deal off eBay and pay by PayPal F&F. Why would I give up all my buyer protection just to save you fees? From now on, all these scumbags are getting reported to eBay.

#1 pet peeve phrase: "God Bless". Where in the Bible does it say anything about baseball cards?

Others that make me grind my teeth are the pompous words:

exemplar (example)
extant (existing)
verso (back)

And while it is not a phrase, any listing with 500 words from Wikipedia about a HOFer. If you don't know who Walter Johnson is, probably not a good idea to buy the card. And these info-mercial listings invariably lack a back scan of the card.

This really bugs me for some reason: "Would not be out of place in a Blah Blah holder"

Amen on "God Bless"

I always see it when someone wants to cancel an auction on a high end card, or needs an unethical "favor"

Also see: "This would make a great addition to your collection"

It stopped being the "hobby when the Justice Department started sending "hobbyists" to prison. Let's retire the term "the hobby."
