Default PSA email misleading title

Did anyone else get the PSA email with the subject "lucky 7 Find"?

I don't know why it bugs me so much, but it does.
I'd expected to see something about the find, maybe a bit more information or better pictures with a "hey we were chosen to grade these " sales pitch. Instead it was just an ad for PSA, with no mention of the find whatsoever.

To me, something with some content that also advertises PSA would have been fine under that subject line. But a simple generic ad?
Using a misleading title to get me to read the ad really isn't the way to get me to pay the now 119 dollar cover charge.

Makes me wonder just what other stuff they're not being straight about.

I had the same reaction of annoyance that the email contained nothing about the subject line.

Exact same reaction. At the very least, the marketer in me thought that they would use the title to offer 7 submissions in their base package instead of 6.

I think I got on it from signing up so I could see the pop reports online before they made it public. I usually ignore it.
