Well, the job of the AH is to get their consignors the highest price.....

So long as the description is not false or inaccurate, I chalk the salesmanship up to doing their best by consignors. And as an aside, when Brian Dwyer/REA says something is nice or rare, I take note. Similarly, there are certain items that I know Joe at memory lane knows very well, and a stamp of approval is noteworthy. (Those are merely two examples). However, when PWCC effuses praise, it’s like a drink guy at bar time telling every girl he loves her. My point, it’s the auction house’s job to sell the card/item and some descriptions and/or adjectives mean more than others, depending on who is doing the talking.

All that said “arguably” is absurd, and I do agree it means nothing.
