Hobby terms you don't like

[BBCgalaxee]

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...

Rainbow

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.

MOJO

MOJO

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

 

[sheetskout]

"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
BGS

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
