T206
I have been messaging back and forth with the seller this afternoon. He feels bad about the T206's. He did change the current one so it says reprint in the title and he said he will contact the buyer and not accept payment for the other one.
He told me that he has a friend, (who is a tax lawyer, but that is irrelevant), who has a huge collection and has set up at shows in New York for quite a few years. Apparently, the eBay seller purchased these items from the lawyer at a show. He also purchased the Ford rookie, which looks good.
It seems that when a scammer is called out they react with threats, insults, and a lot of four letter words. This guy seems to feel bad about the situation and instead of getting rude he asked me for help. I explained some of the basics to look for when evaluating whether or not a T206 is authentic.
So, hopefully this won't happen again with this guy.
