Hobby terms you don't like

For some reason, "pack fresh" and "ball cards" grind my gears.

Don west used to say ball cards frequently, I blame him

& pack fresh means nothing when sellers use it.

"bubble gum cards" is also annoying but you rarely hear it now.

"Beckett Value" is kinda annoying...

I agree.Bad enough we are grown men collecting pictures of other men but now we are chasing rainbows.It is a small miracle any of us has seen a naked woman.

Whenever a seller uses the term 'true' - it means there's ambiguity in whatever 'true' is trying to describe, like "true 1/1".

The hobby isn't nearly complicated enough to need such a term, so 'true' is pretty much meaningless.

Pack fresh gets my vote.

Definitely. Leave the mojo to Muddy Waters. Your $5 card from a $4 pack is in no way connected to that word.

"Best Price" as in "give me your best price"

What "cash value" are you putting on it. (I'm not, it fluctuates, make a freaking offer already, I'm not in this to tip my hand and we aren't friends. My actual goal here is to make as much as I can)

Mojo. I really want to start trolling Blowout and making fun of idiots who say it.

Pack fresh gets my vote.
I tried but I couldn't tell, do "pack fresh" cards smell different than "non-pack fresh" cards?

And if the auctions says pack fresh, will they still be pack fresh by the time I get them, or do I need to throw them out?

Bowman Chrome isnt a hobby term its a brand of card...

Also not sure why it would bother you

And BGS is a grading service, not a hobby term.

So once again, not sure why it bothers you
