That would be very helpful, Dave. Thanks. Send it to me in a pm.
The reason they are saying the cards are in Spain is because it is illegal to do business with Cuba. You cannot export items from Cuba to the United States. If they said the items were in Cuba, eBay would shut the auctions down. That is why in the auction description, in addition to using my name and lying about me endorsing the cards, they also say "THESE IS A PRE 1959. PRE EMBARGOED ITEM FOUND IN SPAIN. NOT BE JUDGE BY THE EBAY RULES OF EMBARGOED ITEMS."
This, of course, is not true, which eBay will know about tomorrow. If the seller(s) could just resist the urge to run their mouths, I suspect all of this would be playing out quite differently.
For the record, I am still on the fence about the cards. I do think it's possible they are real. But there are so many red flags, I don't see how anyone could feel confident about them now. If eBay shuts the auctions down, maybe that will give Rolando a shot at buying them, which would actually be a happy ending in my opinion. I'm still rooting for them to be real, but it looks less and less likely by the minute, it seems.
