Copyright date is 1985 because often factory sets were produced first and were available in Sears and/or JC Penny Christmas catalogs. That is 100% a 1986 set, and there's lots of people selling them incorrectly on ebay.

Trusting other sellers isn't really the best way to research something and trusting copyright, trademark and patent dates is also dangerous. All of those things can help narrow something down, but I wouldn't trust any of them to pinpoint something.

Did someone sell it to you as a 1985 set? If so you can send the mistake on up the chain for redress, but I've made mistakes smaller than this and issued refunds.

I know it sucks to lose a $200 sale and get a $5 item back, but sometimes you have to swallow hard and do the right thing.

PS. Your Glavine Tiffany RC is awesome. Every one I've ever had is centered 60/40.
