And identification of oddball items like the Williams/Yaz stamps; if you can find out what set and year they're from, they might sell for more. Taking the time to improve the item listings online will generate more income for your auction, over and above the expense of the research and writeups.
Add: website functionality on your main site is lacking; ability to sort items by sport or decade or type (unopened, singles, photographs, autographs, etc) would really help people navigate the items. And the images that only allow mouseover to see parts of the image and not a full blow-up image are annoying.
http://auctions.sacoriverauction.net...-LOT16700.aspx This item is counterfeit and not listed as a replica/fantasy/fake on the page.
http://auctions.sacoriverauction.net...-LOT16703.aspx Would benefit from back scans or at least a line stating that the backs are clean/not removed from scrapbooks/written on.
http://auctions.sacoriverauction.net...-LOT16708.aspx This is a Jell-O, not Post. Mantle was a SP in Post that year, and heavily overproduced on the Jell-O boxes. You can tell by the width of the card and the red line through the stats.

Hi Scott, I agree with John's questions. Some of the descriptions are vague. Your photos are able to be magnified, but they cannot be enlarged.
Also, I spent 20 minutes on your website, looked through the FAQ's, etc, but I can't find any info about the auction closing method. Apparently, live bidding starts at 5pm Eastern, but then what? By live, do you mean in-person? Can online bidders still bid after the live auction starts? How do individual auctions close?
I have a lot of bids in, plus some items that I am watching, so I would like to find out.
Thanks, Rick
