I tell you what .... I'll take your Kiner if you let me buy it from you. The card will serve as a reminder going forward; #1 is for me to be more careful when bidding on EBAY and #2 - there are good people out there who care.

Donnie,
Please don't let it take you away from the hobby as we have all been ripped off at some point. When I first started collecting, I bought a Starliner Decal of Mantle with a certificate of authenticity saying it was from 1967. It wasn't. It took me a couple of years to realize I was mistaken and then I was out $20.00. What is worse, a couple years before that (pre-Paypal days), I purchased a "Rolex" from a Canadian seller for around $130 (should have been my first sign). I filed a claim with eBay and got some of my money back through their buyer protection, which wasn't as good. I think I ended up out $30-40, which was a big deal for me at the time. What's worse, a year or two later I located the seller and wrote him an email explaining how I felt ripped off and taken advantage of. He offered to refund me my money if I returned the watch. I did, and no refund. So, not only was I out the money that eBay didn't cover but was also out international shipping. I still collect watches and cards and love both hobbies. This board, in particular, makes me appreciate the hobby so much more. Best of luck on getting a refund and on getting your real 48 Bowman!

They were not from 1948 and, therefore, not as described. If you keep them you are doing all of us a disservice by allowing another fraudulent transaction to take place.

Agree with others that it should be refunded. We've all made similar mistakes...

Cut that Kiner reprint into pieces before you send it back.
You are the second person to buy reprints from them in a year. If you send the card back to the seller whole, chances are there will be a third. Jantz Last edited by Jantz; 02-09-2015 at 10:23 PM. Reason: changed due to update by OP

I never actually got the cards. I noticed from the pictures they were reprints after I paid but before he had shipped them out, so he still has them. I doubt he would be brave enough to put them back out there after telling me it was a mistake. With my track record though, what do I know. :-)

The seller has refunded the money and apologized. Said he was unaware the cards were reprints.
Thanks for all the input.... You guys have really turned my negative experience into a pretty positive night.
