Still a bit confused. Obviously, somebody enlightened the seller that these special cabinet cards would fetch a ton more loot if they were graded and, hence, he pulled them. Doesn't he need Ebay clearance to do that once the auction commences? I am missing something.

Not at all. Seller is free to end a listing early even if it has bids.

Don't they often have to pay small penalty based on size of bids when they pull?

Based on Ebay policy as of a few years ago, A seller gets 1 pass to cancel an auction early with bids per year, more then that he gets charged a full final value fee on whatever the high bid was when he cancels the auction.

I don't know if the simple run-around on this would be if the seller also cancelled all bids before he ended the auction.

Mugged? Sounds like it was self defense.
