Come on, Frank. He's not being "COMPLETELY" dishonest. He doesn't try to pass it off as a Honus Wagner and he shows a clear scan of what he's selling.
Is the ad annoying? Of course. But my guess is it would take about 2 minutes searching eBay listings of baseball cards to find far, far worse.
If you have an issue with the seller and want to trash him, fine. But call it for what it is and throttle back on the hyperbole.
Edited to add: Because of the large number of collectors who dislike PSA, the seller likely would have done far better to market this as another PSA mistake (and a really embarrassing one, to boot), which has a Honus Wagner tie-in. My guess is he would have had a large number of bidders who wouldn't mind owning the card/slab as a funny conversation piece.
That's certainly the route I would have taken. (And in my opinion, the owner of the card has no obligation to return it to PSA for a correction. I place far more responsibility on PSA -- and SGC -- to make sure that laughable errors like this do not leave their shops.)
