I'm no expert either but if the seller is listing as a reprint I would stay away.

Have you ever noticed that when someone is selling a fake the picture is always blurry, just enough that you are not sure what you are looking at? I would presume this is intentional.

I saw that Johnson card when it was first listed, is is a tough one, mainly because the seller has 2 other T206 cards listed that look authentic. Im sure if seller compared the Bridwell and the Johnson he knows if the Johnson is authentic or not. The Johnson may be a steal, but Im not taking a chance.

Under his common t206 there is no "reprint" disclaimer. no paypal. RUN!

My opinion is that with ungraded cards, a legitimate seller should clearly state what the item is ('this IS a Walter Johnson T206,' rather than 'this might be a T206 Walter Johnson') and should have a clearly stated authenticity guarantee and return policy as part of the description. If the sales description has neither, one should probably pass on bidding, unless the item is only a few bucks.

I beleive a clearly stated authenticity guarantee and return policy helps the seller, as many bidders, including myself, specifically look at the policy to determine if and how much they will bid.

Even with the fuzzy picture, it's pretty obvious to me that the font looks too big and wrong for a real t206.

The odds that the Johnson are real are about the same as winning the lottery without buying a ticket.

That cards bad. When a seller lists something as a reprint take his word for it.
