Current auction description reads (in part):
-------
this card is an UNBELIEVABLY CLEAN, High Ended EXAMPLE -- It is BEAUTIFUL - Full Gloss, Color, Sharpness, VERY Great Corners Etc..I Cant see why its a 5..!! PSA has been REDICULOUS LATELY on their grading by the way...***
well, sounds nice! And the tiny scan LOOKS nice! Now let's just see what similar examples have sold for lately with a completed auctions search - oh look! Same seller, same card, "auction ended early due to an error in the listing" - wonder what the problem was? Oh here we go - it was in the "old" description:
The reason it is a PSA 5 is b-cuz of a BARELY NOTICEABLE hairline crease on the back -- It EASILY w/out question has to be the best PSA 5 out there - it SO MUCH looks like a PSA 8 YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE its in a 5 holder !!!
----------
Well, I guess the seller relisted it, but just "forgot" why it's a "5"! How about that!

Yeah, it's not like he misrepresented the card - it was nice and you figure, if it's that nice appearing, but a 5, it's probably got a wrinkle. But it irked me when he knew this perfectly well, but then "forgot" when relisting.
Also worth noting, the final price was at least $40-50 higher than the opening price he'd had in the original auction. Oh well.
