When the book "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" is first opened, the copyright date is shown as 1871, so none of its stories could have happened later than that year. This makes it difficult to understand why Buster would refuse to play the poker hand left behind by the player who dropped out--two pair, aces and eights, is not that bad a hand. Of course, it's also the notorious "dead man's hand" held by Wild Bill Hickok when he was fatally shot--but there's no way Buster could have known that. Wild Bill died in 1876--five years (at least) after Buster picked up the cards.
