Also be wary of eBay sellers who's deductions and reasoning are nonsensical. Paraphrasing of this seller's logic and deductions include:

"I am calling this card a reprint because it's very old."

"I'm calling this card a reprint because it is not graded."

"A 1969 Topps football card is close to 50+ years old."

An auction description is not supposed to read like Alice in Wonderland.

As it may not be obvious to all (especially the bidders!), I point out that this seller is intentionally using circuitous language and double speak and charged phrases so that some bidder reads it and thinks "Hey, this Mantle looks pretty good. This seller is a total rube and doesn't even realize what he has." .... I can promise you that there is a rube involved in this transaction if the card sells, and it isn't the seller.
