I would say this is a learning opportunity.
This. eBay’s reorganization to eliminate the era categories makes proper search terms far more important than before.

I saw this and passed on bidding because of what looks like a mushed corner and a crease in the front scan, which is very different from the written description as “sharp” and “excellent”. I mentally red flag things where the photos are not close to the written listing and move on; maybe others don’t. It’s often hard to tell what’s a damaged card and what’s a damaged sleeve in a flat scan.
