Very misleading and this falls just short of outright lying.

+1. I told Sean that it was not considered an unopened pack BEFORE Probstein sold it.

I'm lost. Why did Probstein list it as being unopened and containing a T206 card if neither were true?

Maybe he was too busy looking for shill bidding consignors?

I don't think Rick has to look for them -- they look for Rick, I mean when he's not involved in fraud relating to his own items he lists.

The pack was not unopened.

I do not verify listings, I ship things and Rick sells them.

I e-mailed Rick and let him know if there was a return I was happy to handle it due to a mistake in the listing.

Thank you for understanding.

Shouldn't the buyer be informed before they are shipped a pack that was not listed properly. Not just give a refund if they figure out they got sold something they did not intend to buy.

The slide and shell are separated in the pictures. That means it's opened. I doubt very much if Pirate Cigarettes distributed their packs without sealing them with either a tax stamp or rice paper, etc. Could be wrong, but doesn't seem likely to be an unopened pack.

I, too, offer my apologies to the OP et al for getting things off track a bit and will sign off as well. Henry, Thank you for your very,very kind words. If I may
paraphrase and recontextualize Suetonius. Your offerings have left us with
the finest of marble, where bricks once lay.

all the best,
Barry
