One that got away

Here are some of those "never dealt with runscott on anything" deals:

By the way, the Mino had writing on the back which you failed to disclose. One or two of the others also had back problems. You ARE t207redcross, Jimmy Scott Elkins, t206Uzitback...? Yes, I know you are. Over the years I have bought several cards from you, most with problems you failed to disclose, but your reputation preceeded you and I was able to get them cheap anyway. The Mino was the end of the line, though. I guess you have a pretty short memory? Hopefully you haven't forgotten what a e95 Cobb reprint looks like (BTW - most collectors don't need a magnifier to spot them).

Hello Scott,

No problem. Looks like you did win the T207 Bresnahan with Napoleon back.
The total is $262 (which includes insured shipping in the US). If you are
paying with PayPal, my e-mail address is: tycobb@optidynamic.com. If you
are paying by other means, my address is below. Thanks for bidding and
good luck with the Detroit Free Press insert (I believe you might get that
one rather cheap, as they don't really do well on eBay).

Thanks again,

Scott Elkins
