I don't know about you but I look to buy the actual card. Not the slab. Not the player's stats from 1910 or 1911, etc.
It's absolutely ridiculous to sell cards for thousands & thousands of dollars without bothering to mention anything about the condition.

On Ebay, people don't describe the card because a) they don't want to highlight a flaw or b) they don't want to have to accept a return for an item "not as described". If you don't describe it...and don't accept returns...no worries once it sells.
Not saying I agree with the approach...but I use it to my advantage when I'm the buyer. Can get good deals if you're smart about it.
