The staining by tea made it worth even less...and just think of the cost of the tea bag! Hopefully they at least enjoyed a nice cuppa before trying to tease out some extra money by going down such a distainful path.


Brian (the British would add milk, but I believe that would lessen its faked authenteasity). And with this statement I have finished crossing my I's and spotting with Teas

That card looks much older than it really is. I assume this card was baked in an oven to get its yellow “patina.” Just goes to show that we must be extremely careful when buying cards.

It was a reused tea bag.

Not a good reprint. Some are better than others. This is on the low end.
