Any auction lot description that uses long convoluted sentences and flowery adjectives to describe something that can be done more efficiently. As if I might kick in an extra bid above my limit because you used twelve adjectives to tell me how beautiful the card is.
Many cataloguers don't realize that readers prefer simple sentences they can understand. Just tell me whether there are any flaws that don't show up in your scan and I'll figure out what I want to bid. That can be done in one sentence of about twelve words or less. I have to assume these awful descriptions are geared towards impressing the consignors, because I know the bidders hate them. |

I really didn’t like “mid-tier back” at first but have grown to accept it.
Now seeing “off backs” all the time to refer to a non- Piedmont/sweet cap t206 is annoying.
