Just a minor thing that bugs me....you too?

I have been browsing ebay this morning, I usually search Football Cards BVG or Football Cards BGS.

It just bugs me when I have to scroll through a page or so of baseball cards because a seller either made the mistake when setting up the selling perameters or more likely put the card in more than one place for more exposure.....

Ok, I feel better thanks
Yeah, happens with any specific search. Like if you want just auto's, mem or #d cards. They have checked that box to get exposure as you say.
My fav is all the "SP" cards... I have sent messages asking how it is an SP and usually get no response.
Not a big deal I guess but you would think it would fall under false listing somehow.

+10000 i also love the "sp" or i saw a card booked by beckett for $10.......seller is asking 300 because "he has never seen it and it MUST be a SP"

I was on ebay and saw several listings that reminded me of this post so I thought I would drag it back up.

I love the listings that will post a card and in all caps they put RARE, when there is nothing rare about it. Or.....you will see a graded card and it's priced high with the comment Rare, none graded higher...turns out its a $2 card that most people would never send in for grading so of course there are none graded higher. I wonder if these sales techniques work?
I hate searching for autos or jersey cards and getting a page of base with "non-auto" or "in packers jersey" in the title.
