I opened an original 1989 Upper Deck pack last week and immediately placed this card directly from the pack into a screw tight hard case. I even used gloves. This card has never been touched by human hands. The Ozzie Smith card is in amazing condition. It is mint for its age. This is a 1979 card. It has been in a screw tight hard case since 1980.

I made a comment to the seller about, well, his misleading pictures.....he responded as such:
I put the pictures up because i have a friend that is a grader for beckett and he graded it a 10 with a 9.5 on surface quality. everything else is a 10. the card is a 10. i just have not paid the 26 dollars to have it officially graded. i stated in the description that the cards would not come in those cases so i cant help if bidders didnt read the whole description. if the person that won wanted to take the cards and pay the 26 dollars to have them graded it would be a 10 guaranteed.

Since when is a PSA 6 from 1979 either "mint for its age" or "pristine". I would hope that the note being pretty critical and having been added after the auction began should make any resolution thru eBay pretty straightforward, should the winner not want to be out the $150+.
Could be that a lot of folks stuck the card on their watch list when it first came up, or set a snipe.
Good eye digi. I bet you are right. They set their snipe based on the photos and never checked back. Bummer. I hope people report the auction to Ebay. I know I did.

He'll(the seller)lose in the end. He better hope he gets a card that are within 3 grades of his, IF they are that nice, as someone might be putting him on the hook..bait & switch.

"Mint for its age"

Moral of the story? Re-read the description even if you've already read it before... then read it again.
However, someone inflicting some physical pain on this seller would be fitting.

<< <i>Dumb question. He mentioned a screw tight case from 1980. Did screw tight cases even exist in 1980? >>
I'm not 100% certain but I believe they did. I started using them in the early 80s.
I don't recall them for sale before 1983-4, they became real popular around 86-87.
I don't believe anything that guy says.
