Nothing against the seller. I think they are simply being honest and I love the quote in the description.

Wow, haven't seen one of those holders in years...

I do too. If you look at her feedback, she doesn't seem to sell cards.

Correct, for the most part. She currently has 4 baseball cards for sale. All ACU-CARD graded E-5.

I once broke a T204 Johnny Bates out of an Acu-Card holder and it later got an SGC 80, which was an accurate grade.

Miracle, I know.

"Good" cards in "not so good" holders can be nice finds in themselves. And on the converse, they can be very risky investments. I have first hand knowledge of both, many times over.

Well put, Leon

If this wasn't my first T206 (or pre-war), it was close. I knew next to nothing about pre-war at the time ... I think it came directly from Alan H. himself, somewhere in the 1990 timeframe. I think the card speaks for itself, and though its "..real pertty..", it ain't sayin' the same thing as the grader.
