Oh man, I love that movie.

"Pop" also means a sudden, loud noise from a crowd. Ex: The Detroit crowd popped when Darren McCarty laid a beatdown on Claude Lemieux.

When you're in a group in World of Warcraft and a mob (monster) respawns - that's a pop

Although I highly doubt that's what you meant . . .

Steve,
Thanks for the laugh. You get my vote for most clever response.

Pop rocks are fun to shove into cats mouths and watch the fun unfold

When a crowd cheers for anything a pro wrestler does, it's called a pop.

Hello,

I'm glad that a collector is not afraid to ask about what some common terminology means. When I began collecting relatively recently, it took me a while to figure out all of it too. So thanks for asking. "POP" has two common definitions.

1) Population. For example, "SGC 96, POP 3" means that three of that particular card have graded at SGC 96 grade.
2) Populate. For example, when someone writes, "My sub just popped!" means that their submission just populated. That means the cards that someone sent into SGC or PSA for grading were just assigned their grades and the collector just found out about them. The origin of this meaning stems from the fact that their cards that were just graded will now be added to the Population Report.

WRT to the etymology of the term 'popped' (insofar as it relates to the PSA boards), I think it was a way of saying my submission just 'popped', as in 'popped up'. The fact that the word is related to the term 'population' is, I think, just a peculiar coincidence.

So far as I know, Zef204 was the first person to use that term. If he was around he could probably clarify.

Back in the 70's someone would ask, "want a pop"
