warshawlawI've had a similar dilemma. I recently ordered two autographed cards from a listing in their catalogue. I usually file their stuff with the other junk mail, but I was headed towards the "office" when the mail came in, so I took the catalogue with me (what better place to read a piece of $*%>?). I saw two items I'd long wanted (1953 Bowman Al Rosen autographed; Buddy Myer autographed Diamond Stars card). I called, reserved and purchased. The Myer card is autographed in pencil. Nothing in the listing mentioned it, nor did the person on the phone, and I stupidly did not think to ask if the autographs were ink. So, do I send back an autograph that I have wanted to get for a long time (Myer is dead and then some, and is very tough to find, especially on a card) and that was at a very nice price, or do I keep it and grit my teeth like you are doing right now?
Ol' Buddy looks nice in his new screw-down and I'm one position closer to my All-Jewish-All-Time Team autographs collection.
Beware any dealer named after a cowboy. . .
