There's not a real competitor on eBay for the volume of popular cards they offer ungraded, so they attract a disproportionately large number of eyeballs and bids. They systematically get about 25% more for the same raw card in the same condition than I or any other relatively small-time seller gets, so they're great for finding the exact card you're looking for, but you'll consistently pay a bit over typical auction value for any cards you do win from them.
It's pretty clear the Spahn is trimmed, and this just seems like willful ignorance on their part to not see it. Great card otherwise, but I'm guessing they're going to get more than what the card will eventually sell for in an "Auth" slab.
