Tim NewcombLast night I emailed the seller and the two main bidders advising them of all this. I gave them the URL to this thread as a reference point.
The auction ends in an hour. No replies to my emails, no retractions. Some fool is going to make an $860 mistake. Well, he can't say he wasn't warned.
The seller's ebay name is "dickcrow" -- anyone know anything about him? One has to question his ethics at this point.
About two years ago I foolishly jumped at 5 CJs that had $19 BINs and small scans. Got the cards, quickly concluded they were reprints, and sent them back. The seller, who I had previously believed to be very honest, refunded my money cheerfully, and a few weeks later stuck them back on ebay, again representing them as genuine.
Shall I tell you all that seller's name? Not sure of etiquette, but I will be glad to do it if Bill thinks it's a good idea. He's mostly a postwar seller.
Cracker Jacks are best bought in person, from a dealer you trust.....
