Default Unusual Answer from eBay Seller

Just sharing to see if others find this odd as I did.

I was looking at a slabbed 1964 Rose, and I sent this question:

Hello - I notice slight discoloration in the white space between the R in Reds and the top of the photo, and again in the white border beneath 'Pete' on the bottom. Are these on the card or a product of the image? I am very interested in this card.

And this is the response I received:

I honestly don't know but if you look at others on ebay, you should be able to compare them and see. I think every printing would be just a little different though as far as color.

Not rude or otherwise inappropriate, just baffling it its content. I would have thought the realm of possible answers would be 1) the card is discolored, 2) it's the image, 3) It's very hard to tell, but here's a new image from a different angle, etc. Do you suppose it isn't a card he has in hand?

I am pretty sure the issue is in the image and not the card, but I don't get a warm a fuzzy.

Judge for yourself and let me know if you'd still bite at this - the price is VERY nice. Less than $400.
