There were individual cards from the 1913 National Game Set also up for grabs. I just wanted the whole set and was not interested in the individual cards. But I noticed that the grades of the individual cards were exactly the same as the ones in the lot of the whole set that they were auctioning off. I then checked the PSA certification #'s and they also matched. This seemed really strange to me.
I went back and read the description of the lot of the set and saw this and could not believe my eyes.
"Each card is also available on its own later in the auction, and whichever format generates the highest aggregate bidding will win the cards."
I have been bidding on auctions for over 13 years and have never seen anything like this. It pissed me off and said to myself that this AH has really gone too far.
Of course, I decided not to place my bids.
Has anyone ever encountered anything like this before? What do you think of this?

What an unethical practice.
