Don't you hate when sellers say ALL their cards...

...are high-grade examples, or worse yet, undergraded? This irks the crap out of me. If a card isn't a high-end example, I won't hype it up as one. I don't get why these guys don't understand that if you describe EVERY graded card you're selling as high-grade examples or undergraded, then it means nothing for any of them.

An example:

UNDERGRADED CITY
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    He obviously has a boiler plate description and just changes the shouldabeen grade as necessary - neat sweet and a complete waste of hype.

    Speaking of sellers with hyperbolic boiler plates, who here knows of which eBay seller I speak when I say each and every one of their cards has a back "that's as clean and beautiful as the front"?
