Pasteboard.

Pasteboard.

Pasteboard 1,500,000 times over.

Nails on a chalkboard wouldn't be doing it justice.

At Huggins & Scott I know we're guilty of using some annoying hobby terms. When you write 1,500 lots every 3 months it's very difficult to avoid. However, the world "pasteboard" is on the banned list

In the last Heritage Auction they had a card with "vivid hues and frosty borders" of which I was high bidder on. I can hardy wait for it to get here.

At least they weren't "antique white." As I recall that was a Greg Bussineau euphemism for toned from way back in the day.

"I would crack this card out of this grade 8 holder from a company that you've never heard of and submit it to PSA but well, that could be dangerous. So I'll just sell it at a value of a PSA 7 instead."

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Maybe they're sending you a Courrier and Ives print?

Any auction lot description that uses long convoluted sentences and flowery adjectives to describe something that can be done more efficiently. As if I might kick in an extra bid above my limit because you used twelve adjectives to tell me how beautiful the card is.

Many cataloguers don't realize that readers prefer simple sentences they can understand. Just tell me whether there are any flaws that don't show up in your scan and I'll figure out what I want to bid. That can be done in one sentence of about twelve words or less.

I have to assume these awful descriptions are geared towards impressing the consignors, because I know the bidders hate them.

BID RETRACTION- from "customers" that use the e bay excuse "could not contact seller" after 3 days of the bid being active,...I guess it becomes true when they are blocked for this action!
