I have seen situations where non-baseball cards from multisubject sets are listed in the baseball heading and I can see the logic of doing that if the card is from a notable and rare set because some baseball collectors will want to pick up a card from the set that isn't baseball, just to have as a type. N167 qualifies, IMHO. That said, the description does indicate that it is a baseball card and should be better written so as not to be misleading. Any buyer, however, has to take some personal responsibility on something like this. If you are going after a very rare, very valuable "baseball" card, I think it is reasonable to expect you to know something about the set, at least whether the card is part of the set. Cracking the big book would instantly provide that info.

Incidentally, how hard are the non-sport N167s to find?
