Scott,

These are not 1950s reprints. These are from the late 1970s and were issued by Renata Galasso.

They were issued as the centerfold of a magazine/catalog that was published, I believe quarterly. They were preforated and the backs were printed in red or black. I believe the entire T206 set was issued.

I believe the famous, yet never seen, Piedmont black back came from these reprints as well.

I'd never heard of T206 reprints being made from the '50s until the T206 wagners were popping up all over the place on ebay and I thought it was just some scam.

Were there really reprints of T206 cards made in the 1950s?
