'49 Leaf Satchel Paige, real or not?

Thanks, Ted.
He replied that he'd have to wait till tomorrow when he was home to send a scan. I then asked him to extend my time on BIN, till after I'd seen the scan.

It'll be interesting to see if he sends it.

It was also good to hear that you really couldn't tell if it was fake from the front scan, because despite all that's been said I hate to admit that it still looks real to me.
Don't worry; I'm taking all your advice.
If there are any developments, I'll keep you posted.

I have another academic question, though, on a related topic:
If I were to buy a reprint and realize it was a fake after I got it in the mail and examined it [I've been using a pocket microscope for a couple of years and have just bought a new blacklight], wouldn't ebay refund my money if the seller didn't? Doesn't ebay guarantee it?

I've bought a couple of cards that on inspection turned out to be fakes. In all cases thus far, the seller has been apologetic and refunded my money with no problems. But if the seller didn't refund it, wouldn't ebay/paypal?

Thanks again,

Doug
