Here is a T205 Flynn American Beauty card on Ebay with a stray line of type. Please make sure to check out the back or this card and let me know what you think.

All I noticed on the back is the word "REPRINT" :D

This must be the exceedingly rare Flynn "Reprint of Type on Back" variation. ;)
Had me going for a second!

I love these sellers. He writes "I AM LISTING THIS CARD AS A REPRINT CARD DO TOO I DON’T KNOW IF IT IS OR NOT"
Here is a tip to all future card sellers: If the card has "REPRINT" on it, you can guarantee that it is a reprint. No need to send any card that says "REPRINT" to any of the TPG's for verification. If you still feel the need to have someone validate the authenticity of your card that says "REPRINT", please send them to me with a self addressed stamped envelope. I will be more than happy to let you know that it is a reprint and return it to you for a nominal fee $1.00.

My favorite auctions (pertaining to reprints) are when they have them up for sale for $7500 because that is what the caption, in a big red block on back, says the card would be worth if it were real.
Once again a guy has a reprint card which his "grandfather" collected. C'mon, give me a frigging break. These old guys must have acquired them when they were 90 years old :rolleyes:

Great Point Rob.
Maybe I will bid and win it for $.67. I think it may cost more to ship the item than he makes off it.
I do have to say the back actually looks really good. If there was no "Reprint" on it and no pic of the front you may fool someone.
