Pack fresh: Typically used to describe condition of vintage cards. The condition you’d expect cards to be in if you opened a pack from a current set.
Heavy/Light: Heavy packs are used to describe the actual weight of the pack of cards. Used a lot for Wizard of the Coast era packs. Generally the heavier the pack, the better your chance at a holo graphic. Light packs are used to describe the actual weight of the pack of cards. The lighter in weight the pack is, the less of a chance of a holographic.
