I was at a card show several years back and walked over to a dealer with a fairly large display of cards for sale. I was looking for '48 Bowman. I noticed a card in his case marked "1948 Bowman", but it was a '48 Leaf. I asked the dealer if he had any '48 Bowmans, he directed me to the Leaf card in his case. I can't remember the player, but I do remember there was a fairly significant price differential between the Bowman and the Leaf (the Leaf being costlier). The dealer responded to my original question with disdain as if I was wasting his time because the card was "clearly" marked in his display case.
So I bought it.
Didn't feel bad - he should have known what he was selling. And shouldn't have been an a**hole about it.
