Back when email auctions were big (don't see anyone doing them anymore), many auctioneers would include the Beckett or whatever Nrmt book price. It was intended as a quick and dirty guide, in particular as many bidders didn't want to look up every card in their Beckett ... As an email listed, say, 500 lots and it was clearly noted that the high grade book price quoted was just a loose marker for the bidders' convenience and most sellers included a brief guide for grades Mint thru Poor-- there wasn't any deception.
