is this a reprint or a real authentic card

You probably don't need to start a new thread for each and every one of this seller's cards. If he says they are reprints, or even hints at it, they are.

He's saying that so that, if he gets a sucker to bite, they can't return the card when they find it's a phony.



(Rob D, Please come on soon and ask about the Lajoie.)

It's a reprint, photocopy style. The seller provided a large scan so you can see the paper stock is off, plus, I don't think the originals faded that much from being soaked. The seller also clearly stated reprint so I'd believe him.

The Lajoie is clearly authentic. People stopped lighting cards on fire after '35.

Reprint.

Another poor original for comparison:

I like the looks of that Gowdy card of yours, Brian....

And I'm a fan of separate threads for each of his cards as long as Matt can come up with more one liners like that fine "fire" comment. Love it!!!!
