This happens alot on ebay and messes up your searches - agreed.
Sellers try to minimize qualifiers and overstate the obvious by leaving it out of the title so that it appears in your search and gets you to look.

My most annoying misrepresentations on ebay:

1) that qualifiers do not screen out on saved searches.
So you set up a "notify me" , email me anytime a PSA 8 or 9 Mantle shows up,
then you get an email and alert, and low and behold it's a psa 8 or 9 oc/ mc
I also hate when the seller tells me the value of the card in PSA 8, but their card is a qualified 8 which is really priced like a 6.

2) Sellers that use "BVG" for BCCG graded cards ( I hate that, and always have to sort through half of that garbage to get decent results that are truly BVG)

3) SCG and SGC mixup

Good stuff, the seller is trying to capitalize on a last second bidder jumping in and only reading the title, not the whole posting
