Michael,
The person who put the price on the cards-not saying the dealer-knew they were false.
I also direct your attention to the advertisement border design. This was a knockoff of Holsum Bread, but a cheap one. It doesn't look like a pattern from the 1920s, but an imitation for the 1970s.
Sorry, the cards are fakes and in the case of fakes to help the con they need to be in various stages of use to help with sales.
First, I saw them in May 1999 and had an honest. Then the same group hit eBay in 2004. A "new" group came to attention in 2019. Waiting for the next group of this fraud in 2034. The fifteen year rule so everyone forgets. 2004, 2019, 2034.
