Am I right to be annoyed about how this auction I won was described?

You received pretty much what should be expected from an auction house. Unless they went out of their way to list some from big games the lot will be just a bunch of items with no value.

Wasn't expecting any "big games" but doesn't it seem reasonable to expect that a listing that says 1985-1990 should at least have some Dodgers lineup cards from 1988, and there would be some semblance of an even distribution across different years?

Perhaps the description could have been a little more realistic and indicated that most were from 1989-1990 rather than a distribution of 1986-1990. If the description indicated a distribution of 1986-1990 then one might assume that there would be an even distribution (or close to even) for the years indicated. Seems like you made that assumption.

Maybe should have asked for more info before bidding?

Jeff Im sorry but i dont think you can assume you'd get, for example, 1988 Dodgers. I see that often with auction lots, if there's one t206 and most from the 1950s, the description could say 1910-1959.

However I do not think it's right that they said 'many signed', when in fact they're not signed. That is their mistake.

And personally, sorry you're disappointed Jeff. Never fun.

and not to hijack, but sometimes someone doesn't do their research and you benefit.

Just arrived today......Merry Christmas to me!!!!!

In a lot that I was the only bidder for a bunch of tickets for around $80 was a Hank Aaron Debut, 1st game, Ticket.

Just Googled it and found its worth 2K

Thanks for the responses guys.

WillowGrove - That is an interesting point. I had not considered the way things get listed. I'm not sure it is exactly the same, but I definitely hear the point.

As others have mentioned, I definitely should have asked a question in advance, that is my bad.

Lesson learned. I need to be more careful before bidding.

Thank guys.

If anyone is looking for a nice game-used lineup card signed by Tommy Lasorda for cheap, let me know. I have quite a few
