On the downside, they won't put any description of a card even if they really should (like that T205 Hoblitzell), take forever after payment to actually ship, and their cards regularly sell for far far more than I can get the same card for from a random guy on eBay. I usually just buy from nonprofessional sellers when the card is an easily found card, because I will pay ~40-80% of the price that it would cost to get it from sellers like Morris. I just don't see any benefit to myself in paying more.

I get what you're saying, but buying from random sellers on Ebay is a little like playing Russian Roulette, especially with condition.
I recently have bought lots from 4 or 5 different sellers (new to me) and the results have been quite mixed. A High Grade NMMT - MINT 1975 lot was terrible. It was EX-EXMT at best with all kinds of damaged corners, among other things. Another group of 1975s, described as NMMT, Clean and Sharp as well as being assured they were centered and high quality cards. They were anything but. I kept 3 out of 41 cards and returned the rest. Very disappointed. A couple of groups of 1980s and a larger lot of 1980 Topps checked out pretty well. Lastly, a big bulk lot of 1970s was so far from the description it was ridiculous.
Despite Greg Morris imperfections, the good outweighs the bad and that's why so many buy from him and he gets the prices he does.
