Well if you bought the holder, then it seems to me you have a reason to be annoyed.
There's a right smart of difference between the wide pens and the fine pens; a fellow buying the card (not the holder) should have readily seen that.
As for your concern about the size and that you "probably won't keep it," you'd have been displeased with the wide pen, too, because it is just as wide and about a quarter of an inch longer... so the wide pens would be too big for you, too.
Seems to me that you don't want that card, no matter whether it is properly identified in the slab, or not. So you should sell it. And I don't think sending it in and fooling with getting it fixed will improve the selling price, but I could be mistaken about that (maybe as mistaken as SGC was).
So... here are suggested plans of action, in order of what seems most practicable.
1- Sell it, as is, and mention that the slab label is wrong.
2- Bust it out, start collecting the fine pens, learn about cards before you collect certain ones, and quit fooling with graded cards.
3- Send it in, give them a chance to get it right, then sell it.
4- Keep it as is, as an object lesson in knowing about the cards you're buying instead of relying on third party grading.
Someone else will most likely have better suggestions...
