What nobody seems to realize and, correct me if I've missed a related response, is that detailed descriptions are more important for the CONSIGNER, not the buyer. As a frequent consigner to many auction houses, I want the auction house to make my card(s) sound like holy grails, within reason of course. REA, Heritage, Goodwin and Mile High are the four best (Mastro was also great) at accomplishing this and those auctions will continue to receive my high end material for "taking care" of my lots. Their descriptions and marketing concepts are the best. While I am sure it is also advantageous for the buyers as so eloquently stated by Jim B., keep in mind without a continuous flow of high end consigments, EVERY auction house is out of business.
