Observation regarding 1910 Obak Cigarette pack

[brianp-beme]

Cool Obak pack. It is interesting to note that "Convenient Sensible" is the most commonly seen slogan on the backs of 1910 T212-2 Obak cards.

As a bit of postscript here, the pack arrived yesterday and it’s 100% a fake pack (graphics are printed on computer paper and glued around a cardboard box). Unfortunately the seller has been unwilling to offer a full refund (he comically offered a 50% refund because he can’t verify I’m being truthful!) and is sticking with his no return policy. Unfortunately it looks like I’ll need eBay and my credit card company to step in, but beware in case more hit eBay and also look out for this seller!

Wow Jon, that stinks. Very disappointing that the seller isn’t being cooperative.

Hopefully Ebay takes care of this for you. Good luck….

WTF?! a fake pack? Reprinting cards probably easier than packs. Hopefully u can get your full refund, Jon! Good Luck

Straight up fraud, these guys should be drawn and quartered. Best wishes on restitution Jon.

The seller isn’t necessarily the counterfeiter. So perhaps we should hold off on quartering him until we know. But I agree he should offer a full refund.

The seller has a responsibility to assess what he is selling or clearly state " I don't know if it's genuine or not".

Except that "I don't know if it's genuine or not" is seller code for "I do know, and it's not."
