T206 Reprint Lot On Ebay

[Archive]

Posted By: T206Collector

Totally and completely fake -- size of borders, font, colors on the back (including blue sweet caporal). Why has someone bid this lot up to $90?

Someone ought to tell "getthemoney" that he had better hold on to his. "Luckylee19" has so far lived up to his nickname -- he's lucky that he won't be spending $89.00 on these reprints. Of course, there's still plenty of time left...

...this card has been bid up to $70.00 because (a) the bidders think that it might be original; or (b) the bidders want to use it to scam somebody else.

I think the seller discloses well enough that the cards look too nice to not be reprints. It's caveat emptor after that IMO.
