I wish bro, if i did, i would not sell it. I do agree it is better and bold, but both could be centered better for that 111k price tag.

I have no idea where the T210 Jackson will wind up, but the description has 955 words. In a single paragraph. 955.

The only excerpt that might matter is this about the grade: "It is correct to period and was the victim of poor pressmanship rather than butchery by X-acto as PSA would lead you to believe." By the way, "pressmanship" is not a word.

I blame Legendary for starting the Oser-florid-descriptions-that-say-nothing, but Goodwin has taken taken it to another, even more horrid level. Please, stop it.

Although I know what you're saying, this is hard to say as I think this is one of the things that differentiates Goodwin auctions. A lot of auction houses just list your item, and the lot # beside with no blurb whatsoever, or at most just the information on the flip. If you're consigning your cards, and you want the most florid blurb possible, go to Goodwin, as it's one of their selling points to consignors. Of course, if you feel the opposite, then you can consign to some other auction house.

I don't mind the history and information, especially on cards that are a little less well known than the t210 jackson. One paragraph, or a couple, for the history and one for the card description wouldn't be a bad idea though.

Someone stole that Joe for 56k. Great buy

compared to prices of some other cards I'd agree.

I don't collect cards but appreciate the knowledge gleaned here each visit from those that do. I just wanted to point out that pressmanship is indeed a word.

I think the word that now needs to be put forth is 'oneupmanship'.
