Just stupid.
The fact that people have bought your items thinking they are true historical items of the people you claim them to be makes my skin crawl.
Here is the description on the "Anson"
"1860’s to 1870’s Cap Anson tintype. Likely the earliest image of Anson. I have another uniformed Anson tintype listed where he appears to be slightly older. This tintype and the other listed Anson could both be considered as “Holy Grail” cards. To even consider them worth less than six figures is a laugh. I do have a family to feed, so entertaining reasonable offers is what I’m here for. Image was likely taken in Marshalltown Iowa, but perhaps taken during Anson’s arrival in Chicago. More likely rural Iowa. If it was taken in Chicago it would’ve likely been a cdv. Anson does seem to have an air of confidence in this image. Likely taken during his rise in his home state. This tintype is like seeing MLB lying in a cradle. If any auction reads my listings, enough is enough man. Contact me. I don’t read my emails often. Text or phone that shows your info on caller id. Tap out already for the sake of history of the greatest game. The crookedness is pretty apparent at this point if you haven’t noticed. Save grace already. Is there an honest auction house out there? Tintype measures about 2 1/2 by 4 inch in size. Stains, toning, wear, scratching, rust, emulsion, creasing and bends. Feel free to ask questions. It’s got to be getting hard for these houses to set up a catalog. I got an adjustable constant catalog. Let me know which players you’re looking for. I am getting tired on my end throwing shade. Gets old making half of a listing explaining the way money rules and ruins. Their makings folks, not mine. Guess they got a plan(with dollar signs on their end of course). Feel free to ask questions."
Also including the other photo of who he thinks is anson but older

here is the other photo and description he has provided
1871 Rockford Forest City uniformed baseball tintype. Scott Hastings back center. Pony Sager front left. Cap Anson front right. Scott Hastings was considered the top player on the Forest City by his teammates. Very early image of Baseball HOF member Cap Anson. The man seated next to Anson is the reason Cap Anson played MLB baseball. Pony Sager was Cap Anson’s teammate in Iowa and convinced the 19 year old Anson to give the majors a try. This tintype should be on Cooperstown. Wish I could sort my way through the smoke and mirrors of the baseball market to put this in its rightful home. Stains, toning, wear, creasing, scratches, paint loss, emulsion and rust. Feel free to ask questions. About 2 by 4 inch in size. Bargain price for baseball history. What’s this worth in auction. 7 figures? Just trying to feed my family. Is that story on the internet still around about the auction world swooping in to save the old lady from giving away the 1960’s Reds cdv. Precious. Crooked little world we cater to nowadays. This card probably won’t be listed much longer, so if you have an inkling of buying you’ve been warned. I plead again tell me one man’s name who even claims to know anything about newly baseball images. If it’s the King Kahoona. He’s scared to face me. If it’s the other 2 guys. They don’t respond to emails. Give me a name. There seems to be claims of companies as authenticators of certain things. Not really specially newly discovered images. Never seen that phrased. Careful wording. Careful wording makes authenticators hand over fist crooks. They use the word criteria as an enabler of their thievery. If this card is worth $35000 the whole market will crumble. Fools. Here it is folks baseball history for fractions of pennies on the dollar.
