I was looking at a few card auctions on eBay and saw one listing several early 70s sets and the subject line had several star names listed like "Ryan", among others.  Seeing it was low in price, I clicked on it ready to add it to my watchlist only to find out that the players named were players like "Mike Ryan" and not Nolan Ryan.
While it did draw me in to look, I found this very misleading.  Curious what others here think.

Very misleading, I wish there was a way to block sellers on Ebay.

It is a form of Keyword Spamming. At one time Ebay did not allow keyword spamming.

I think it would be even more misleading if the "sellers" set was referring to Meg Ryan :)

Similarly, searching for hall of famers can be dicey when some sellers throw "HOF" into listings for guys who got nowhere near the HOF. In some cases it might be guy who's in his team's HOF, in other cases it's just an outright lie.
