On the subject of auction catalog item descriptions, connections to sports history and sports card history can make for entertaining reading, but what is most relevant to me, as a potential bidder, is the accuracy of the descriptions relative to item condition. On that score, I think Brian Drent (Mile High Card Co.) is now as good or better than anyone in the business, at least among the auctions and items that I personally have been looking at. He seems to be making a concerted effort to give balanced descriptions that include both the stronger and weaker condition attributes of each item, including subtle defects that might be missed just looking at a digital scan.
