That reminds me of the time I bought a full Darby Chocolates box on ebay. The guy, a non collector, lived around 40 minutes away so we met in person to do the deal. This was around 5-6 yrs ago and I still had my original Darby card in my collection, so brought it along. When we met he showed me the box in the palm of his hand.
He had done a bit of research and even knew about the barn find with the plethora of cards with smoke stains on them. It was the mini-box (reprint) version as these TCMA's are.
I showed him the real card and we laughed, I got a quick refund and all was well.
(not mine any longer)
