John,

Seeing as I've never reported an item to eBay, what did you say? Does it ever actually work? The seller didn't list it as a reprint or genuine. Just wondering how you can persuade eBay into believing it's not authentic for reference.

I probably would have done this before but wasn't sure what to say when trying to report an item and wasn't sure if eBay would even care.

I selected that it was likely counterfeit and linked to this thread. If eBay gets enough of them, they will normally cancel the listing. The other option is to reason with the seller. My guess is this seller doesn't normally deal in cards and was sold this as real, and doesn't realize it's a fake. Send them a message through eBay and see how they respond.

Thanks John. Maybe I'll help the cause and submit one myself!

He did list it as GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC though, all in capital letters and bold.

Hey guys,

I thought I should chime in on this conversation since this ebay guy apparently stole my BROAD LEAF 460 scan.

Bender (no trees) is possible with the BL 460 back; but, has yet to be confirmed.

This card on ebay is not for real.


Check-out my illustrated info I have posted here regarding the tougher 460-type backs in the 350/460 series of the T206 set......

in this series resulted from American Lithographic separating these 63 subjects into two print groups.

Group A of the 350/460 series includes 35 subjects printed and issued with these four 460-type backs (circa..late 1910 > early 1911).

Factory #25 VA ......................... Factory#42 N.C.


Conversely, these 35 subjects were NOT PRINTED with.... AMERICAN BEAUTY 460....UZIT


Group A

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Group B




Group B of the 350/460 series includes 28 subjects printed and issued with these two 460-type backs (circa..Feb-Mar 1911).


.


Conversely, these 28 subjects were NOT PRINTED with.... SWEET CAPORAL 460 Factory 25....SWEET CAPORAL 460 Factory 42....red HINDU....BROAD LEAF 460



Note
The LENOX brand....so far, 42 of these 63 subjects have been confirmed with the LENOX back. I haven't included LENOX in this analysis since a discernible pattern isn't quite
evident at this time. It's still a work in progress.


Your inputs on anything related to this subject are appreciated.
