Posted By: <b>Leslie Westbrook</b><p>It's not the first example of that happening that I've seen. I think the folks at Topps just got in a hurry and screwed up. One thing I would like to know is: Would Topps be willing to replace repro-cards they mistakingly inserted into buy-back card holders with the real thing?

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>Here we have a bidder who has won one of these for $300 and he's bidding on an obvious reprint. Makes one wonder.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>I don't know the seller, he may be a straight, forthright fellow.<br /><br />But I think the card is a reprint, and I doubt that Topps got it wrong, I think someone sliced into that on the edge and swapped cards.<br /><br />FW

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>When the Topps T206 came out, I never saw a reprint in a holder. I sometimes saw an original T205 or T207, but never a reprint T206. I believe Topps got the mostly low grade cards from folks like Kit Young, and Young wouldn't be one to accidentally along a reprint. <br /><br />We've all heard of cut signatures errors on cards, but if Topps accidentally inserted a reprint into the holders, I've never heard of it before. <br /><br />

Posted By: <b>1880nonsports</b><p>opening the Topps premium re-inserts and putting fake cards in them. I saw 4/5 N28 baseball players in the A&G throwback set which I don't believe were ever in the original offerings. It doesn't seem logical that such a card as this T206 would be purposely inserted by someone as the econimic benifits are low?

Posted By: <b>Martin Neal</b><p>I bought these from the same seller. Just kidding. Obviously, it would not be very hard to do.<br /><br /><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e268/123MARTINS/buybacks-2.jpg">
