Matt, I think the back really makes it clear it is a fake. Also the borders seem a bit too fat but the back is really obvious. Plus the most obvious reason is what was just mentioned: it is impossible for someone to sell this card in this manner, ungraded, etc. |

Well, I am a novice and besides the rediculous description, it just doesn't look right to me....are there technical features other than gut feeling that gives this away? |

also it seems that a lot of the wagners and plank reprints the back is way off centered. |

In addition to the shortcomings mentioned above, especially the fact that it isn't a Sweet Caporal back, the type on the front doesn't look like the old type. The font and color of the ink aren't correct, what is on that Plank doesn't match the type on genuine white border tobacco cards. |

No Plank exists with a 350-460 series back. The seller is, however, a genuine idiot. |

If you check his feedback left for others I guess he was burned at his own game and won a FAKE mantle and wasnt happy about it! |

I have reported it but really anyone can report these scams. There is a place on ebay to do it. This guy really put some time into conjuring up this story... |

leon - I reported 3 fakes over the last 2 weeks and all 3 auctions went to the end. We can all report them, but its futile if they ignore the report. That's why we need you. |

His story is, among other things, painfully long. The only reason I wasted time reading it is to get some insight into how a scammer thinks. |

Tim, I'm starting to think you're badmouthing this guy's listing solely to try to talk the price down. Please do not try to top my $3 offer; I know what you're doing. |

i'm sure i can speak for jeff, ted and other T206 experts...after seeing/handling thousands of T206 cards, you only need a split second to glance at a card and instantly know if it is real or not... |

A Plank could have a Piedmont back, but would have to be 150 subject, other than that would have to have Sweet Caporal factory 25 or 30. |

My inside source at ebay didn't give me a time frame for the reprint/fakes category. He only said they are working on it. I hope it's soon as it would weed out a lot of the stuff we have to wade through....sort of like off topics on the board |

You can tell the card is fake because there is no black border line between the blue background and the white border. Compare it with any other real T206. |

Among the many obvious prime bogusness indicators, no one has mentionned the absence of the factory identification on the lower back of the card. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't any genuine T206 have that? |

In the 1980s a run of reprints including that Nap Lojoie, Wagner, Plank, and a few other cards were put together. That card is from the reprinted set .. I know because I have the same mini-reprint set. The good news is that anyone that is even remotely familiar with the Goudeys would never even consider this card. |
