Concerning TIK's items, obviously his (good) reputation proceeds him by a mile, so it should not be interpreted that I am in any way disparaging his auctions.

While they generally do a fine job, it is my firsthand experience that even some of the top auction houses do make the occasional substantial error with photographs ('Well, almost the right century'). That's why when these proofs pop up on the market-- some stranger than others--, I say "I sure would like to a few of these these in person."
