He wrote me back, I sent 2 emails. He responsed as follows:

"Hi Steve , Yes is is 100 % original , it came in a large lot from an east coast dealer , I just contacted them and was informed that several others from the original batch were submitted some came back graded others altered , and a few trimmed so I will need to come up with a very reasonable price and sell him " as is " with this new knowledge Thank You For Your interest Professor D"

-and-

"Hi Steve ,No actually these cards were this nice to begin with , the N29's came in a large grouping along with other 1888 and 1887 issues ,several graded some came back trimmed so I am selling these raw , these three have not been submitted so I am not sure if they will grade but they are genuine not reprints . I am willing to sell them at super fair prices and placed a very modest reserves there fore . They would be any collectors dream considering their eye appeal . Thank You For Your Interest Professor D PS ALLTHE STAINED CARDS GRADED 8 or 9 with EITHER PSA OR SCG"


He sounds genuine...it never costs anything not to bid though.
