Lee is right. These are definitely Library of Congress images. Compare the Anson, Von Der Ahe, Healey or any others that have distinct scuffs or odd cuts or other easily recognizable defects. No question.

I know 'kidcardiac' and in fact spoke with him on the phone earlier this evening regarding another matter before I'd had time to look a little deeper into these images. I've sent him an e-mail with links to the more obvious cards. Hopefully he'll get it before sending his money to this joker.

All the tell-tale fraud disclaimers were there, too. But these did look pretty real. Why is it that the Library of Congress offers the option of seeing high resolution uncompressed TIFF versions of each card??? Can anyone explain the reasoning behind this? They're really making it too easy for scum like this seller.
