T206 reprint or not?
 
2 Attachment(s)
I won this card via ebay a few weeks back (cheap)..
it's a thinner card stock than I am used to feeling but I have not held thousands of T206 cards, perhaps less than 100... I am thinking it might be a reprint or perhaps not... any thoughts would be appreciated..

Looks real to me.

I have never seen reprints that can copy the typeset of a real T206. that looks real to me. the fact that the paper feels lighter or thinner may mean the card was squashed or compressed at one time.

Real, authentic.

One way a card can seem too thin occurs when someone soaks a card, then presses it in the drying process. I'm not talking about blotting paper and a few books or a brick, I'm talking about a vise, or some similar significant force pressing the card. In addition to thin, does the card seem very flat? A slight remedy for that is to resoak and then allow it to dry with less force.

Yes, its FLAT...

T206s are on thin stock. It's almost like heavy paper.

Easy.... as authentic as it gets.

The wear/damage of an authentic card is the toughest to duplicate. And the scans are good.
