Hi everybody. I am concerned about the authenticity of these cards. I bought them at auction today. I have not seen the cards in person. Yes, I understand that it was dumb to purchase these cards without verifying with all of you and obvious other reasons.
I couldn't help myself from the impulse buy...
So I am unsure if they are reprints or not. But also I don't know why someone would go through the hassle of reprinting these players...
With that said, can any of you identify these cards being legitimate or not?
The paper looks of the era due to the chipping of the borders but the printing seems off to me. All these players were playing on the teams depicted on the card during 1888 season. That is the only year where all the teams match up with the player.
Any thoughts or opinions will be appreciated!
