People who start Weekly Discussion threads before the MNF game is even over.

Fanadicks.

It's happening.

The fact that there isn't a stickied "What Is This Worth?" thread really grinds my gears.

TheFrenzy · 10-06-2021, 02:48 PM

I find the stigma against necrobumping to be reactionary and close-minded.

There has been a lot of great content posted to this forum over the years and lot of discussions which—in hindsight—take on highly entertaining and ironic qualities.

And we should be allowed to celebrate these threads.

Agreed.

Also users who openly display a lack self-awareness.

FinSoonerGMG · 10-06-2021, 03:45 PM

People searching for a particular card on Marketplace then post in a thread from like 6+ years ago "is this still available" rather than PMing the OP

I'm thinking something like:

1 - "Poopnini"

2 - Quoting long posts just to reply with "lol"

3 - Quoting posts with dozens of large photos for any reason

4 -

5 - "Joff"

6 - Talking about idiots in the Seneca Wallace thread

7 -

8 - Quoting haters in your signature

9 - Triangle smashing

10 - "Can you pay with PPal gift?"

Screenshots have been taken.

People don't have cash anymore these days, it's all digital.

Monkeys accept cash? Would you take bananas as currency?

Have to agree with this one!

True, but I cant tell you how many times I started reading an older bumped thread, before it dawns on me that everything is a few years old (or older) that I was about to call out.

Threads in the football section that have nothing to do with football.

Noles939913 · 10-07-2021, 09:44 AM

People calling a plain jersey swatch a “patch”. For example:

“Super sick Kyler Murray RPA for sale here”

And then the card turns out to be a sticker auto with a plain white jersey swatch.

BO Classifieds Clickbait.

“High End for Sale”

And that PSA 9 Rated Rookie, is priced at $50 OBO

You send an offer of $40, and are told $50 is as low as they can go.

Some people just don't understand what OBO means.

For me, its everyone that types RC when they mean to say rookie, and not just rookie card.

When you write "I think Trevor Lawrence will turn things around, and still have a productive RC season" You are saying Rookie Card season.

Another one that bugs me, and I know it shouldn't.

People that refer to a 1/1 NFL shield card, as a "Logoman". I get that they have logo's, with men on them, for the MLB and NBA. But these are the football forums. Don't talk that smack in here!

For me its when someone says ATM Machine. So its an Automated Teller Machine Machine? Not like anyone under 30 uses these things anyway, nor is it on this forum. But that phrase really gets my goat!

Like PIN Number? LOL

I'm in Chicago, and I have heard the ATM Machine mistake plenty. But I really roll my eyes when someone I know from Wisconsin calls them "Time Machines". I think its TYME but still, super weird to hear, when they ask me if there is a time machine near by.
