T206 Doyle missing Dot after the Y in N.Y

[danmckee]

Very interesting read folks! I appreciate all of the insights. Bottom line is the seller NEVER responded to my question through ebay and ebay has finalized their decision by telling me I could relist it on their site. Problem with that is I would relist it showing both dots and would maybe get $45 of my $215 back.

Sadly no response from seller so I do not recommend him and will be leaving him bad feedback which I am sure he will be able to have removed for no good reason.

Thanks again everyone......

Scanners often remove dots from cards. Can't say whether this was intentional or not. Since it was not advertised as missing the dot it looks like you made a miscalculation and will just have to keep the card as is or eat whatever loss you may have upon reselling it if it sells for lower than what you paid. As Leon tells us Caveat Emptor.

How did I make a "Miscalculation" ?

I clearly bought a card that is missing the dot after the "Y"

Not seeing any miscalculation there at all.......

He didn't make a miscalculation. He bought something that was significantly not as advertised (SNAD). Sort of the opposite of what you said, but carry on.

TY Leon! I appreciate the clarification.

WOW! Less than 15 minutes my Neutral Feedback was removed so that seller is on top of this situation and at this point, I don't think he is being very honest.

NOT COOL by him.

This is what Dan posted:
"Now he didn't advertise it as missing the Dot so I am guessing he didn't doctor the scan but how else could this have happened? You can clearly see the Dot after the N."

It was clearly a miscalculation since there was no dot...If there was any doubt then a question to the seller about whether dot or no dot was present and asking for additional scans before purchase would have made more sense.

I agree that if the seller was on the up and up he would have accepted a return since the item was not what you thought it was.

Once again, to make clear, I am not saying the seller did anything or not. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. This isn't about why, or how, it happened. It is only not as advertised, accidentally or not.
A simple return from the seller would be appropriate, imo (but my opinion doesn't count).

A little while back I miscalculated my SNAD and ended up in the hospital for almost a week.

Brian (I personally think a little dot stealing T206 gremlin mischieviously snatched it from the scan. No matter what the case, sorry Dan)

If it was purposefully done, that just reinforces my skepticism of partaking in "vintage breaks." (Imho)
Here's my print anomaly to fill in for the Nat'l version.

The seller currently has a Marquard portrait listed - scan shows no dot after the Y

The plot thickens...

I'm a little confused. Dan, you say it cost you $215 but the link you provided in the original post takes me to a listing with a price of $367.99 and has the authentication guarantee indicated.

He accepted "Best Offer"

Thanks for clarifying. I guess eBay changed how they show sold listings that had accepted offers. I am used to seeing them with the listed price crossed out and something like "Best offer accepted" shown even if the offer price wasn't.
