No pics, but additional types of damage include:
warping (especially large plates and train wagon plates)
cracks in baseplates (and corners broken off)
baseplates cut into smaller non-standard sizes (I still use these, of
course!)
stress marks in baseplates (white/pale patches)
warping of old CA elements, especially 2x4 slopes
staining due to markers etc (eg writing on bricks)
bending of long skinny elements (antennas, masts, etc)
expansion of clips so they no longer hold properly
minifig heads stuck immovably in helmets
I'm sure there are more to add...
