Default T205: How to spot a reprint

Posted By: J Levine

They all look good to me...

The T205 set was reprinted in a box form about 20 years ago. The reprints are more glossy and the backs are slick. There are some other earlier reprints floating around as well. The Dover reprints are easy to spot because both sides are glossy and the colors are a little off. Cobb was reprinted as well which is easy to spot as well. The reprinted Cobbs have a black Piedmont back and are all fake. There are a few other fake T205s around with color issues on the backs (red piedmont, blue sweet cap, etc.).
