Better than some of the AH (not necessarily Heritage) and ebay hype we see.

Best we've ever handled.
Amazing eye appeal.
Presents far better than the technical grade.
Blazing colors.
Near perfect centering (like we can't see that).
Just a few wrinkles that do not detract from the overall appearance.
Stunning.
Bold signature.

Clearly AI. He was a professional baseball player …. No auction house would write something so obvious. Same for “played as a second baseman…”. No one would write that.

Great! Now they can cut the Buyer's Premium since they are saving money on staff.

AI is taking the auction industry at large by storm. I can see it making sense for household and general goods, but think it's an odd choice for auctions where certain types of information, and a description of condition, is key.

Peter, I guess we're one of the auctions you're talking about as we use almost all of those terms (don't think I've ever written "blazing colors") We don't, however, use them for every lot.

Definitely AI, which makes sense to use for the thousands of lower-end stuff they sell every year. I don't know who is doing the job of generating descriptions, but I can imagine it's not a bunch of baseball historians customizing every lot description. Is there a way to negotiate a custom description when you're consigning?

And when winning bids are paid at the close of auction, send out the cards immediately rather than a 14 days wait for notice to ship. Heritage is in my personal dog house at the moment, but I probably will relent when they list a card on my grail list.
