I found this interesting WWII photograph for auction on eBay:

[url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2123658106[/url]

I was interested in possibly buying it, and wanted to make sure it was not a newpaper clipping, but a real photograph.  It's difficult to tell sometimes from eBay listings.

So I had the following exchange of humorous emails with the seller:

ME: Hello, Is this a photograph or a clipping from a newspaper?  Can't tell from your listing.
Thanks.

HIM: please re--read and even again please!!!!
Charles E. Snyder, Jr., Major, USAF (Retired)

ME: No need to be a prick, fella.  A simple yes or no would have sufficed.  One can not always trust listings to be accurate.

HIM: & fuck off 2 U fella!!

Guess I won't be bidding on this item. [rolleyes]

I have been in the business over 40 years and most collectors on the East Coast know me. I have been a Militaria Show promoter most of that time. I am a fair and honorable person.

With the discription as a "period news photograph" I would be inclined to beleive it is a damn "news"paper clipping. Piss on him, what an a$$hole!!

Here's mine!

Is that a REAL photograph or a newspaper clipping?
Also the only real "Garand With Bayonet Armed GI" isnt helping! Are you sure the one holding out his hand isnt carrying a carbine? That buttplate looks kind of small to me. I would hate to buy a photograph of
"Garand With Bayonet Armed GI" helping, and then find out I had bought a newspaper clipping of some looey with a carbine!

That will teach him to mess with Marvl!

So, like, dude, like is this thing, like, for real? Is it an actual photographic print, or like, some scuzzy newpaper clipping? I mean, whoa, far out-the thing is really friggin trippy!

I'm prepared to bid, like, a total a$$load of money if it's for real, but if it's a clipping, call it kwitz, d00d."

I suspect he's gonna get real tired of this soon.[;D]

Hello,

The term "Period News Photograph" is somewhat confusing.  Is this a photograph taken for a newspaper or is this a clipping of a photograph from a newspaper.

Thank you.

Here is my question to the guy...
"Are the girls in this photo over the age of 18?  You're not R Kelly by any chance are you?  Is this all the girlie pics you have?  You don't have any of any French chicks do you?"

Now awaiting a response...

Heres my latest!

Are you sure those Jap girls are over 18? I might buy that one if I could be sure, but I cant take the chance of getting busted for kiddie porn and getting  my pornograph confiscated! Do you have any other porn of maybe Vietnam girls?

PS: Is that a REAL picture? Or is it cut out of a newspaper?

Followed by some contact info including "Major, USAF (Retired)" behind his name.
