Is there a glossary of terminology for card hobbyists?

Newbie recently dabbling in baseball cards again after 20 year break. I know you folks are speaking English, mostly, but a lot sounds foreign.

The terms thrown around are baffling, lol!
So far I know what hangar packs and blasters are.
What are the fancy names for the random special cards like SP, refractor, etc.

Anyone want to school me on terminology?

Also do you card guys collect lowball sets, of the lowest graded card? Believe it or not, some coin collectors go for the lowest possible grade (not me)

Also, does anyone collect the WORST players for a given year or team. I thought that might be a fun mini set to build, haha.
