i called and asked. the consigner presented it this way to them, both the description and opening bid. whether the description was verbatim or not that is unclear.
i can understand the desire for the consigner to have some input into what the description says if they feel it is relevant to the upsale of the card...within reason.
on the flip side i would have expected that the auction house prevent something that is so...exceptionally bizarre...from making its way in.
this definitely looks really silly as you are thumbing through the listings. figured someone there might wonder what others think if they put that in their auction. they just paved the way for listing really ridiculous stuff at really ridiculous prices.
