Why write anything about a graded high value card? I mean does anyone who would bid on a 1952 Topps Mantle not know who Mantle was, not know what the card is, not know what the slab says, etc.? I'd rather see straightforward descriptions of the flaws on the card that make for the grade, without the extraneous blather. Instead of filling half a page with mindless drivel, use the extra space for larger pictures.

ETA: on the opposite end is the auctioneer who makes a real effort to explain the context of a rare card. For example, I read elsewhere in here that REA is going to get the R340 Tilden that was recently discovered. That card could use a detailed factual recitation on the history of the issue because it is so rare and so misunderstood.
