I'm a big fan of "Pack Fresh!" because it makes me think of that new card smell....Mmmmm... Like I just opened a pack of 80's Topps cards or even a Score pack from the days when they used those plastic bag-like wrappers in the late 80's. I must admit however I've seen the term used on cards that are in actuality not so fresh.

I actually use Pack Fresh in my listings. The only other thing I put there normally is "see description" where I will put more specifics.. soft corner, chipping, etc.

I can't say I have a problem if a listing says "see pictures for condition" and provides good photos.
I would rather look at some high quality images and make up my own mind than have some seller who has no idea what they are looking at spam "Gem Mint", "PSA 10" etc.
Obviously if there are any major condition flaws they should be listed separately as well.

Using "rp" instead of spelling out reprint.
Calling counterfeit cards reprints.

I'm a bit amused at seeing that every standard hanger box of 67 or 72 cards is "HUGE".
yes, this isn't really card conditions, sorry

I almost forgot that alot of graded card sellers simply use "--" for the condition. Guessing it's too hard for them to enter the grade again.

OMG, I think I would fall out of my chair laughing if I ever saw someone say "so clean, you could eat off them" about a card.
I did see one card advertised as "cleaned" which made me wonder what they did to it. I also saw a card listed as "re-edged", which I assume is a fancy way of saying they trimmed it.
Another good one is how some sellers list cards as "rare" and give some odd ball reason why the 1987 Topps card they have listed for $5 is "rare". Usually because it's off cut or there was a printing error.

Seen one a year or so back that stated a 1990 Donruss Will Clark 1/1. There is no other crease like it
