Gilbert MainesThe short story is that I bought a 20s Exhibit card, was unhappy with it when I got it in person; contacted the seller and he agreed to take it back for a refund.
Although that does not sound bad, the long story is:
The seller has a feedback rating of 99.5% with 6406 positives. He described the card as "Original 1920s Exhibit card in vg/ex condition". The card was trimmed top to bottom and side to side by one eighth inch or more. I did not scrutinize the scan because of his good feedback + I'm not sure I could tell from the scan. But there was instant recognition in person.
After failing to get a response to two e-mails, I got him on the phone and he told me that it couldn't be trimmed because he has a whole set which measures the same. He agreed to accept the card back when I made it clear that I was aware of the facts regarding the size of Exhibit cards.
+, -, or neut.?
