I pointed out the problem to the seller a few days ago, to no avail. It sold a few minutes ago.

Sigh.

Hey, that's original artwork! It should be worth a premium. :-)

The listing has ended,
usually I can bring up the original listing, look at the bids.
Not on this one,
Perhaps it was just withdrawn?

Ehh? When I click through I see the completed listing. It was fixed price, not an auction so there were no "bids". As shown in the screenshot "Sold for: $35.00" meaning it was not withdrawn. It sold.

I see, thanks.
Vendor has a few dodgy negatives and neutrals.
"Item not as described" etc.

Strange, after looking at his history, I can no longer see his store.

A good example of how closely some folks examine what they are buying.

You might try clearing your cache and ebay cookies. It appears that something is going wonky at your end. I can view the seller's store and all of their listings.

and part of the design drawn in. It is amazing that anybody would consider paying good money for this piece of junk.

I would pay $1 for it to use as a teaching tool.

At first glance, I didn't even notice that. I must not be suspicious enough. But someone has actually gone and added a new top and bottom . . . and then hand drawn in the missing parts of the stamp. I don't know if I should laugh or admire the great effort that took. Selling it wtihout even mentioning the alterations is pretty close to criminal.

This is hardly a rare event, unfortunately. It happens on classic postage, too. Seeing it does not come simply from being suspicious, but from learning how to examine stamps properly. I saw it immediately, and I am sure Eric did as well.

Very strange, that's Rick Snow, an extremely well respected man in the coin collecting realm. He's the world expert on flying eagle and Indian cents.

That's what had me puzzled....

Perhaps he has a side area where he deals with stamps, he may have another person as "identifier" etc.
But not replying to revcollector's "heads up" adds another mystery.

As is so often the case with collectibles, dealers do best when they stay in their lane. When they start dabbling in areas where they are not experts, problems frequently ensue.
