Brian,
My deepest apologies, but there was nothing intentional. This thread is keeping me both busy and endlessly amused with timeout for laughing spurts.
Professor Wagstaff here has seen you and can only answer that this particular dealer was clear in his explanation, "They are not real." That tells me he knows about their history and the handwriting on the cards-I did not ask this either-I presume was his. I know. I know.
So, if the guy states "They are not real," he writes what price he wants for the cards and displays them at his table, it says to me the origin is something he has a clear knowledge of and has priced his cards accordingly. Ask yourself this question: If this guy has so little knowledge of his product, how is it he had every "legitimate" (cough, cough) that has ever been known to the hobby?
