Default A Slew of Fake M101-5s on COMC ?

Any thoughts on these? I don't care for the larger white area around the border on them but maybe it's just me and they aren't fake?

Plus what’s with the prices? They would be ridiculous even for the real things.

Actually they are all real--reprints. The Merkle even fails to scratch off the "nt". Thankfully, all but one are overpriced by 1000%, so they are not going anywhere.

What are the odds, all 4 cars have nearly the exact wear pattern in the lower right corner. As if someone scratched the word "reprint" off all of them.

Some of the "6" in 116 was removed to compensate for the remaining "NT". He didn't want to over-scratch.

A quick check of the web for reprints of Sporting News cards turned up these being sold on Amazon. Notice where the word "REPRINT" is located.

I reported these to COMC, but I doubt that anything will happen.

Rich, I just saw your thread. Thank you for reporting these. I wonder how they made it through the listing process with no one noticing?
