The Goodwin Auction descriptions are the absolute best:

Okay, I'll list the description for these T206 cards, you guess the player/card (click link for answer):


"This rare artifact provides a perfect glimpse into early baseball, from the small cap to the heavy wool sweater. For the collector of type cards or the baseball historian, this [card] is a must have item."

This player's "T206 portrait is among the most desired cards in the T206 set."

This player’s card "is a reminder of a simpler time, when America was a growing nation and all eyes turned to baseball in the summer."

Just once I'd like to see them go the other route. "100+ year old card of an average looking guy who left no lasting impression on the game of baseball".

I think I'd bid just for the honesty!!

The Mets never actually lose any of their games. It's just that many times, the team they're playing happens to exceed their performance.
