John WondowskiI am not the ebay seller referenced in the OP, but it is kinda weird as my situation mirrors the seller in questions quite closely. I did buy a huge lot from Mastro this past spring of George Burke photos and they were correctly described. I haven't noticed another large lot going off recently. Here is a link to my listings with all photos having the Burke Studio stamping on the reverse: http://tinyurl.com/4zvq7r
There were several hundred in the lot of 2500+ that did not have the correct cataloguing markings on the reverse, but were obviously part of the original grouping. I elected to sell those in bulk at a discount.
I have emailed this seller to try to buy a large quantity of his photos as he does have some Type I 8" x 10" available, but he said they were on consignment and that could not be done.
Here is an example of proper markings on the photo:
