While I understand there are many cards undergraded in ;ow grade slabs it has gone waayyyy too far with sellers basically ignoring TPG grades, etc. and claiming cards "looks NM" even though they reside in a VG slab with a huge crease. 9/10 times the TPG gave the low-grade card for a reason...

I think there is a tendency for everyone to think their card is undergraded reminiscent of a parent who thinks their butt ugly kid looks Grace Kelley or Brad Pitt.
That really annoys me too. Here is one that was recently listed:

It's a PSA 1, but says "Looks PSA 4" in the title. Ummm, no, it looks like a 1 because it has paper loss, Einstein.
