Some Topps images must have walked out somehow - somebody would've noted the Fryman either in the filing cabinet or on eBay - and suddenly reappeared. So strange.

I've had some interaction with the seller (buying some of her wartime photos and offering IDs on others)... she claims to have bought a large lot of photo prints (3,000+ items) and is definitely not making prints from digital files - I'm inclined to believe that this is the case.
The thing about the color Reds photos is, to me, the mediocre to poor resolution of the scans/prints. It's a stark contrast to the Burke & Brace b&w prints that I bought... those are, although small, quite sharp, all things considered.
I have no idea who might have snagged the originals from Topps, but I doubt that it was this eBay seller (and I know that that you were not making this accusation).
