The two cards the seller lists as Type 2 are actually Type 1. The blue Thomas couldnt be a Type 2 due to color, as Leon points out, it is also a Type 1 crop. The Burrell is a Type 1 crop as well.

The graded cards are fairly in focus and well lit. The raw cards are very fuzzy and tightly over-cropped. The Zeenuts are barely visible due to lack of light and poor focus. Some might be legit, but not presented in a fashion that maximizes confidence, or maximizes bidding/prices for the seller.

Hard to be confident buying the first ever Type 2 blue background and uncatalogued Thomas with a fuzzy focused cropped scan.

Feedback for seller, from a reputable ebay seller, sez TRADE WITH CONFIDENCE. FAST PAYMENT, GOOD COMMUNICATION. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I would take that to be a reference to this seller being a buyer, rather than a seller.

As always, when in doubt, I prefer to touch it and smell it before I purchase it.
