You didn't read the listing or you wouldn't have posted your comment.

Kevin,

I wouldn't have posted my comment if I hadn't checked the listing
I saw the listing this morning and read it based on your earlier post. I appreciate you said something to them about it. Perhaps you should ask someone before stating they didn't do something when you don't have any knowledge of whether that is so.

The words "old mill brown" are used in the title. I admit I haven't been on this board as long as many of you. I am impressed by the knowledge and dedication of numerous participants here. My understand has been there's
A) black old mill backs ranked 25th & 29th in scarcity
B) brown ones rare: ranked 2nd in back scarcity
C)apparently there is, thanks to this seller, a new grouping between black and brown, but listed as brown in the title.
And one can buy it from this seller for $2,500 bucks or an agreed upon best offer. Perhaps they changed there wording based on whatever you emailed them - but it still says "brown old mill" in the listing & their intention seems to remain the same: sell the card as if it is brown even though it is not.
Thanks

Welp...you said, its probably just an oversight, which clearly it is not for a couple reasons. If you read it, how can you say its an oversight in one post and then turn right around and say its dishonest the next post?

I really don't think I missed anything here. Your response indicates that you didn't read the whole listing. Not to throw a punch back but, maybe you can ask if your post is clear to other readers before posting it.

Lets add a few more in there:

Naming convention of Brand, then back color is pretty common.
Here is a perfect example: http://t206resource.com/Checklist%20Main.html

Thebo played for the "Browns", not the "Brown". It is conveniently added right after the old mill. This is not a coincidence.

Kevin,
Your right I should check my posts more clearly before posting. The first comment :

That was sarcasm . I guess it wasn't clear
. I appreciate your constructive criticism & need to double check before posting & can see where the confusion comes from.
I think we both agree on our dislike of that kind of listing
Thanks
Paul
