Now, you get a few, and a whole lot of crap totally unrelated. eBay search has become algorithmically frustrating in much the same way. I think stuff that gets posted such that it shows up in searches comes down to $$$ so that it gets priority or "sponsored". Total f-ing BS, in my humble opinion.

I was interested, so I did a search for 1936 All-Star Game on Google. Here were the top 8 results:
