Without even checking I bet this description is plagiarized

Reading Goodwin's descriptions remind me of Elaine working at J Peterman's writing descriptions of clothes. The best word is describing the Clemente is "luscious".

Both of those spots on the back are from material on the back of the holder. You can see the shadow on the card. For a supposed $75k card, he might want to clean the holder up before photographing.

I believe the main writer for Goodwin is a member here...and he seems quite proud of his descriptions!!!!

One of my new favorites of all time. From Goldin's Babe Ruth auction.

A thousand words could never do it justice. This masterpiece speaks for itself.
Everything that's good and pure and holy about our national pastime—and our nation—shines forth here in our unlikely young hero. He's the dawning of a Golden Age. He's the American Dream writ large. And he's only just begun.


Understated perhaps. I have to give them credit though . . .only went on for about 400 words after stating that it speaks for itself.
