Bad photoshop, but listing it as a reprint
 
Image has to be stolen from somewhere else. Looks to be a quilt or bedspread pattern through the plastic holder on the card, but smooth finish outside of the holder. Even the overlap of the cards don't match the pattern seen behind them.

Honest enough to say selling as a reprint. Not honest enough to say they stole the images.

Apparently the bat on Ty Cobb back reprint is rarer, hence th 3x price

People on eBay are so delusional it's frightening. You put up a Honus Wagner T206 reprint, crisp white with sharp corners, and it sells for $1.

Put up a T206 Wagner reprint dipped in coffee and run through a rock tumbler, and the bidding hits $20+.

That's too funny, and unfortunately true.

That's right. Reprints are the only cards that have an increase in value for the worse the condition :)

Now that's funny, and of course it's true. :D

I remember when a guy had a genuine 1800s card that he thought was fake because it was in too good of condition. I said it was real but perhaps was stored in a book over the years.

Personally I like the 52T Mantle he's selling, complete with a shot of a box of junk era cards in the background

The only thing wrong with the statement you just made is he isn't selling a 52T Mantle, but actually selling a 52 Bowman Mantle that looks a lot like the 52 Topps Mantle, which tells you everything you need about the cards he is selling. :rolleyes:

He "doesnt know much about cards" bit somehow managed to find 63 aged reprints to sell

They might be real though! It's just that ebay rules say he has to list it as a reprint.
