what a joke

I know this seller has some Sport Kings I wanted when I was building the set. His prices were so far off in left field, I didn't even bother to make an offer, as any reasonable offer would be seen as an insult by him. Another Ebay museum seller in my eyes.....

The back of this card is browner than any typical Black Old Mill back you see. Furthermore, it is factory cut and you can judge for yourself if it is brown enough to enter into your collection as an official Brown Old Mill back.

Response from seller:

The description is accurate

Hmmmm... when he says "the back of this card is browner" I wonder if he's referring to the actual overall surface of the back, and not the print (that print, btw, is not close AT ALL to being brownish).

If he's trying to say that the print is brown, well, his description is not accurate. I guess by letting us "judge for ourselves" he is absolving himself from any blame should the card look black in hand.

Ultimately, no experienced T206 collector will buy this as a legit brown OM.

[I won't edit this post, but to clear up any confusion, the ebay description was changed after this post]

This all reminds me of what Wonka said recently in another thread," If you have to ask, it isn't brown."

This is what DICK says. He is obviously a poor judge of character.

Here's what I think of the sellers.

I've bought from the seller often over the years, and she has always been very honest and easy to deal with.

I have had quite a few of these light ink Old Mills, and compared to the heavy ink obvious black ones, they do look brown. But the litmus test is to compare them to a Brown Hindu - it will be very obvious that they are not really brown.

My favorite part is where he says "factory cut." Brown Old Mills were not distributed in packs and are essentially printer's scrap, so shouldn't they be hand cut?
If it was a Brown Old Mill, which it is not.
