Maybe if he just posted a picture of the back, instead of two super blurry pictures of the front, he wouldn't feel the need to be such a dickhead.

Just sayin'. Pretty shitty response if you ask me.

The seller is just being a dink. Copping the attitude he did with you certainly won't win him the Dale Carnegie Award.

He's obviously someone who rarely deals with prewar cards (based on his other auctions) and is super paranoid about some savvy veteran stealing a super valuable card from him.

I'm guessing he's done just enough forum lurking and t-206 research to understand that he is completely naive. (Enter insane levels of paranoia stage left)

We're way too nice a bunch, but it would be a riot for him to get a couple thousand $10 Best Offers.

I think that he's telling you, in his own way, that there is no stamp on the back. Since he's from Jersey - fuggedaboudit and move on.

Seems to me that if someone was really vindictive they would buy this from the seller http://www.ebay.com/itm/France-1970-5-Francs-COIN-Republique-Francaise-CIRCULATED-/171435540303?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item27ea5abf4f (which is the cheapest thing he has for sale) and then give him a well deserved negative for being such a d%$# head.

How to respond to a dickhead..........do look I did and send a message to ask for a back scan, better front scan, side scan and scan of his girlfriend! Annoyance is a perfect remedy for people like this. The front scans are horrible and no one should even buy that card because of the attitude that comes with it. So have some fun............ask several questions, simply to raise the sellers blood pressure. It truly is too bad that some people have pathetic lives.

Why wouldn't he remove the card from the plastic bag before taking a picture? Is it that much of an effort?

Rumors going around that would make the card more valuable. I don't think so buddy.

Chris, really no significance to anyone except maybe me. for the last seven years, I've only collected cards with Howe's stamp on the back. Here is one of many posts I've put on the board about my search ...

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...howe+mccormick

Thanks to many members on the board, the collection has grown larger than I ever imagined. Thanks to all.

How utterly random and utterly fascinating. 230+ cards from this one person? Amazing.

no, just a kid whose father and uncle owned a store and ended up with a lot of cards that he stamped the back of. Not famous at all, just my obsession.

Default Faulty memory on my part ... I have asked this guy a question before
and about the same card. Was going through old eBay messages just now and ran across this from June.


From: t-206
To: njcollectibles07
Subject: Other: t-206 sent a message about 1909-11 OLD MILL CIGARETTES T206 James Lafitte ORIGINAL SGC1.5 #171367510881
Sent Date: Jun-24-14 20:50:40 PDT

Dear njcollectibles07,

Does the Old Mill back have a rubber stamp on it from original collector

Howe McCormick
500 W Main St., Gainesville, Fla

Please let me know one way or the other. Thanks.

and he responded the next day ...

Dear t-206,

Hi Howe, I do not see a Rubber Stamp anywhere on the back of the card. I hope this helps.
Thank you,
NJC

So maybe he is pissed that it didn't sell the first time, and indeed, it is the second time I contacted him about it. Still don't think I'm going to email an apology or anything, but honestly didn't remember this card from almost three months ago.

Buy it and return it with the "not as described".

It came with a back and there is no back in the listing.

To follow-up this thread, I thought I would ask for a scan of the back of the card...here's what I received and our ebay conversation:

Dear njcollectibles07,

Could you please provide me with a scan or picture of the back of the card?
Many thanks for your time and consideration,

- jayworld


Then his reply:

Dear jayworld,

It is professionally graded

- njcollectibles07


So I followed up with:

Dear njcollectibles07,

Yes, thanks, I can tell it is SGC graded from the two photos. I was requesting a pic or scan of the back of the card (want to see condition of the back).

Thanks,

- jayworld


And his latest reply:

Dear jayworld,

Good Luck and happy bidding

- njcollectibles07


I don't know this seller from Adam, but in my opinion, he is very unhelpful, and I thought my original request was respectfully worded. At this point, I'd advise all just to stay away from this seller.... Wonder what his problem is? Have others dealt with this seller in the past and had positive purchasing experiences?
