I don't know why I even bother but I emailed the seller the following:

I see you put the statement "all sales final". Does that mean that you wont stand behind the authenticity of this being an original 1895 Mayo and not a reprint?


The reply was -

I can not guarantee the card will grade all sales are final no matter what


Isn't there something in the ebay rules that state this idiot has to make a disclaimer stating "it could be a reprint?" I guess that if there was some type of rule that ebay wouldn't do anything about slugs like this anyway.

Please excuse my poor choice of slanderous words for the seller as I didn't want to offend anyone with what I really wanted to say.
