Dan, undirtunatley no. Too much work. Very sad to be missing it.

His response to me. "I will take it down, how can you tell it is fake?"

He pulled it.

"I AM ENDING THIS EARLY, I AM NOT A DEALER AND HAVE BEEN RUDELY INFORMED BY A FEW PROFESSIONALS THAT THESE TWO CARDS ARE NOT ORIGINAL."

A simple 'Thank You' would have sufficed.

I got this:

"well I did take it down when I got three emails in one day, prior to that I was unaware it was a reprint. I looked carefully at several cards, Dimagio and ruth before I bought the cards and now, and for the life of me I see no difference. I am not a dealer and sell occasionally on ebay and buy off and on. I messed up and paid way too much for this card from a guy who told me they were authentic. I talked off and on with him for over a month, did not make an impulse purchase and he didn’t badger me to buy. But as I said I can not tell the difference between a fake and real. Every reprint I saw is printed reprint, so I majorly screwed up. I cannot believe people out there cannot understand that a non dealer can easily be fooled and that it is not necessarily a scammer reselling a card like this."

I never called him a scammer btw, I just informed him his cards weren't originals. Oh well...

I think this happens a lot.....I can't say how many times someone will tell me that x number of dealers and local card shop owners tell them something is authentic, when it isn't. It's even happened on this board occasionally (with new people coming on, usually).
