If you own and look at enough T206s (including online pics), most reprints are easy to spot. If you're buying low grade commons, it's not a big deal as you're not risking much money. If the seller provides nice pics, guarantees the authenticity and has good feedback, you're probably okay. Obviously most care is needed when buying the expensive and supposedly high grade cards, as more money is involved and a seller's grading standard may not match yours or the grading companies'.

If you buy a few cheapo cards from a seller and like the product and service, this may be a person you buy the expensive cards from later. Many favorite and trusted dealers are discovered by first buying one inexpensive card.
