Very good advice except maybe a couple more points. I would say that "almost" never do 19th century items have dot patterns. Remember my 1890 EJ Hoen team card? It does and it is a photoengraving, I believe. Also in my auctions on ebay I always put "no returns unless I make a material mistake." So far I don't believe I have ever had anyone unhappy with my ebaying. If you ask around I always stand behind my transactions. Just recently I sold a board member a card off line and when he got it he immediately emailed back and said he thought a side looked suspect. He asked if I would offer a refund if it did not grade. I said of course I would. It came back ok (maybe a grade low but still ok).....my point is that if someone says "no returns" don't just blow them off. BTW, I still don't even understand returns in an auction provided there are nice big scans.....it''s a friggin' (@Tbob) auction not Wally World !!.....you outbid someone and that's it...it's yours.....just my half cent worth....regards all
