What I find humorous are his "Almost Complete" set listings that are nowhere near complete. Here is an example of a typical listing like this that has a totally deceptive listing title:

Batter Up 1934-36 Batter-Up (R318) Almost Complete Master Set 5 - EX

https://www.ebay.com/itm/29411347062...wAAOSwBx5g8YPx

Are 110 cards out of 192 almost complete? I think this is an extreme example of "the cup is half full" wishful (as a seller this term should actually be identified as deceitful) thinking. 110 cards are listed in the description...why not in the title?

I understand that there is limited space in the title, but to identify this group as EX is also not very accurate, as 60 of the cards are lower than excellent, with 32 of these being identified as Vg, and 10 being Good or less. Perhaps 'Vg to Ex' would have been more reasonably appropriate?

And why is this grouping identified as a 'Master' Set? A master set grouping for Batter-Up cards would have examples of different tints for each card. In the Batter-Up set there are 6 tints for each card #1-40, 4 tints for each card #41-80, and 2 tints for each card #81-192. This listing does not have more than one tint for each card #, thus not a single card toward a master set.

There are countless reasons I am not a customer, and this is just a humorously annoying one.
