warshawlawgreat for the bidders, bad for the sellers. Heck, the first major auction purchase I made was from Leland's--a big lot of old boxing cards that were (you guessed it) under described and misdescribed. Miscellaneous lots turned out to be complete sets, cards were attributed to the wrong sets (most notably, a US Caramel Sharkey was listed as part of a 1948 Leaf set; the US Caramel is 16 years older and one heck of a lot rarer). Suffice it to say that I too received a lot better and rarer cards than the listing led me to believe were in the lot. I praise my luck but found the result to be disquieting.
