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

I already know what young anson actually looked like, John Thorn has an image of him as a 15 yo in Marshalltown in 1867 in this article

Definitely not the person that they claimed was in that picture on ebay
