Am I missing something here?

I like browsing through certain states unclaimed property auctions sometimes....I ran across this yesterday http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-30-Micellaneous-Baseball-and-Basketball-Cards-/261160522740?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cce6153f4

What am I missing? How is this lot of 91 Topps and other cards going for $76 right now? The cards also look really beat up.

The gold foil stamp on the topps cards. I forget what set they were from, I believe you could only buy it as a complete set back then and they now go for decent money

Can see a couple Desert Shield cards which would raise the price but wonder if all of the Topps were DS cards.

wow I would have never thought of that.

I realized the DS stamp after I made this post, but still, assuming that all the Topps cards are DS, the price as of right now of $117.50 doesn't account for the condition, if you look closely it seems that the majority of the cards are in 'fair' condition, and nobody that important as far as the DS set goes.....they could have done a better job and taken the time to scan each card in.......right now I feel sorry for the winning bidder.....7 hrs 12 mins left now

I was thinking the same thing unless there is someone really wanting these cards.
