I hate these guys and even though I know I am just talking to a brick wall I still find I need to 'kindly' mention things to them if not to just see what kind of response I get to get a feel for the seller. In the case of this seller he told me that if I personally looked at the lobby cards I would see that they were 77 years old. If you have dealt with lobby cards from Mexico you will know that the paper used and fact that they seem to have been displayed in displays that were unprotected from the weather they can really show age even from titles I have from the late 1960s & 1970s. First time I have had a seller tell me that the cards actually look worse than the picture might appear.

Trying to talk these willfully ignorant sellers is like trying to teach a pig to dance; it's frustrating for you and annoying to the pig. I used to be a conscientious Portal Publications Policeman ("Zip codes weren't instituted until the early 1960s!") but after being told to perform anatomically impossible acts upon myself a couple of times, I just quit fighting the tsunami of stupidity.
