Sunlight. Never underestimate the power of the sun to fade colors and damage cards. It's a silent card killer.
Frequent use without protection. Playing with the cards without sleeves can wear out the edges and surfaces.
Honestly, just looking at a card wrong feels like it damages it. Jokes aside, the main things are water damage, bends, and scratches. Keep 'em in a binder or protected sleeves!
