runscottI sent the seller an email expressing surprise over the scan quality and received an email back that, while friendly, didn't appear to be from someone possessing an item of this value. I asked for a hi-res scan of the Cobb letter, simply because I would like to see it.
It amazes me that this item isn't being sold by a major auction house - the high rollers who avoid ebay would certainly come out. That's a major red flag, but it could simply be that the seller thinks they could get more on ebay and decided to handle everything themselves rather than pay a professional to take photographs, etc. There are lots of incredibly cheap people out there!
