Default Annual worst auction writing sound-alike contest--It's fun!!

Posted By: warshawlaw

Well, it is auction season again and catalogues filled with ridiculous descriptions of old cardboard are breaking the backs of mail carriers nationwide. I think we need an annual contest to see who can come up with the worst possible auction description, like the annual Hemingway write-alike contest. Entries will be judged on the degree to which they mimic actual auction house publications, including use of overblown similies, excessive strings of adjectives, run-on sentences and subtle misinformation. The winner receives...nothing, except the satisfaction of a job well done. The subject of our mythical auction is a 1977 Topps Oscar Gamble in PSA 4 vg-ex condition. Have at it!
