Misrepresentation

Completed auctions show he did have 3 legitimate 1914 CJs listed seems like an honest mistake. How could you not notice before cracking it out? I think you need to just chalk it up to a mistake by the seller and then a mistake by you, accept some responsibility for your actions and move on. Also he has no back scans of any cards so it seems like a major stretch to suggest he was being shady. Not everyone that sells cards has the knowledge of some of us on this board.

I had the exact same type thing happen a few months ago. I bought a card listed as a V351 (I think). I got it and there was a tear in it. I put a tiny piece of archival tape on the otherwise blank back (not an expensive card to start with). Then when I was cataloging it I found it was different dimensions. It was a different type card with the same pose and had been described and listed incorrectly on ebay. I asked the seller about a refund and they said since I put a tiny piece of tape (archival, not that it mattered to them) on the blank back they couldn't help me. I just chalked it up...but thought it was kind of crappy of the seller. They did have it listed incorrectly and the tiny piece of tape helped the card stay together. But I took responsibility and moved on.

If an auction title says PSA 8, and the scan shows a PSA 8 OC and I buy it, who's to blame?

It's cracked out now so you own it man, chalk p the $100 as a cheap lesson.

Actually, looking at his feedback, he sold 4 "1914" PSA Cracker Jacks. Two were 1914 and two were 1915 (the other was Louis Evans for $156.38), so Ed, you weren't the only one who got fooled by the year.
