There is a local auction house in Northern Indiana selling cards on their own auction website.
When I've gone to pick up cards I've bought, they usually have 3-5 college students sitting at tables taking pics with their phone and writing a basic (often wrong) description.
I bought a zip lock bag full of 1973 topps, mistyped as 1983 for $9. Got 2 G-VG Clementes and 2 Ryans, plus 300 other cards.
I Bought a lot of 200 or so 1978's with 2 Murrays, a Trammel/Whitaker in G-VG for $3.
Sometimes they take the time to list each individual junk era common. Since starting price is always $1 they might have 15% of the lots with no bids.
So if you have the wrong people doing the data entry you can lose money pretty easily.
