Robert BLet me add, with vintage cards
I just don't buy into the "I didn't Know" it
was a reprint. The internet/ebay are
sources readily available for everyone.
If someone sold, say a 34 Goudey Gehrig reprint
and then claimed they did not know it was a reprint.
No way would I buy it. They researched the card- which is
probably why they are selling it. Then they should
be able to tell the difference between an original
and reprint.
I once had someone sell me a 72 Topps set on ebay
in Nrm/m condition. When I got it, it was at best
VG-Ex, totally useless for something that recent.
And the conditions were consistent throughout.
Called the dealer, he said it was nr mint when it left
and I was giving him the benefit of doubt,
but that changed when he said "However
if you still want the set I'll knock of such and such
of the price"
I knew he was trying to pull a fast one.
He probably thought he was gonna be able to
get me to keep the set if he knocks off the price.
I sent it back.
I can tell when a set gets damaged in the mail
this was not the case.
