As long as the AH describes the card correctly there is no issue. I try to skip the hype about who Ty or Babe was and find the description of the card. Usually there are 3 paragraphs about Babe and all of the homers and his greatness....and very little about what we are actually buying. Maybe we could have AH's put the card description in red or something, so we can skip the other crap. Now if the item or card is very esoteric then a description about what it is, is fine. No need for that with the major HOFers...
