If it were me, I might consider a smaller auction house where I would get tons of personal attention...

A certain auction house once explained to me that to describe every item in a large lot (that I was consigning) takes away some of the "mystery", and they felt they could get a higher price if the description remained somewhat vague.
I didn't agree, but what the hell did I know? And I was ultimately satisfied with the results they got. But I wonder if this might explain why they are reluctant to provide a detailed description - sort of the old "grab bag" idea that adds an element of gambling to the bidding process.

Pretty sure I know exactly what AH the OP is talking about, they also usually post large groups of signed baseballs. Something like "60 signed baseballs" and they'll name 10, including Mantle, Koufax, and Darrelll Evans. Got burned once by receiving nearly 50 Evans-caliber signed baseballs.
I think they do it purposefully, my suggestion is to assume they are hiding a ton of chaff with a few grains of wheat. Somehow I never win at this particular AH, probably because I won't be this stupid again.

I can't even count how many times a AH has a lot of multiple cards and only show a few of them. They might describe a few cards and then say the rest are a few better or lesser.
When the lot arrives, there will be several cards that are in such poor condition that I end up throwing them out. Instead of selling a lot of 50 cards where some of them are poor crap, then just sell the ones that you can describe and can pass off as a card.
