For the record, I don't have any hard feelings towards the dealer I bought this from. I will be more cautious about buying from them again, but am not about to make a fuss over a small thing like this. Thanks again for the help. I like knowing what I have. As much as I dislike being fooled, I would dislike it even more if I was fooled and never knew.

......collecting is not a race. Those who started (in their minds) late, are not going to "catch up" to those who have been collecting for many years.
A collection is not judged IMHO on numbers of items, but rather the quality of what is in the collection.
