Obviously I have no idea what the seller's motivation was for featuring an inexpensive item, but some sellers do so when they are selling a large number of items, all of which are worthy of view, but none are particularly expensive. Featuring one item and having a note in the description saying "please check out my dozens of other rare memorabilia auctions this week" is great advertising, and the cost of the listing upgrade pays itself off over the course of dozens of auctions, not just one. Of course, it's best if the one featured auction is a more valuable card that should be featured anyway, but it doesn't always work that way.

Or the dealer could be an idiot.

Who knows.
