When someone promises something that is too good to be true ... it is always a sure sign of trouble.
Now I have a follow-up question for the "moral police" ...
If Charles had offered to but the whole box from her "sight unseen" for $100 based upon her promises of "Ruth and cigarette cards"... would he then be justified in demanding his money back when he examined the cards and found nother older than 1990??
Probably NOT ... since he was trying to "get a deal" in the first place and took a known risk.
THIS is why Charles had every right to try and buy the whole box for cheap in the first place ... because you have to drill a lot of empty wells before you ever strike oil ... and you lose money every time you try.
