Do Official Full-Size T3 Cabinet Reprints Exist? Border Size?
 
I don't know the set very well. I've seen the Galasso reprints, which are standard card size. But, have there ever been full-sized 5.75x8" reprints? I assume not, since I can't find any with a quick search.

Or, has anyone seen any full-size fake/replicas prior to the '90s?



Also, is there information about how big the portions of the card are? The actual photo, and left, right, top, bottom, bottom to the nameplate borders?

All I can find is the size of the entire card.

No such thing as 'official' because the company is long-gone but dealer Mike Wheat made some very high quality reprints about 20-25 years ago, full size.

I remember seeing some of these at some point. They’re very nice. If memory serves me, Mike slightly changed the ornamental design on the back for his so that they could always be identified and not confused with the originals.

Adam & Conor are correct
Mike Wheat's version was well done, though up close the cards didn't have the texture of the originals
Via a scan, ya can't tell

Wheat's repro backs had a sun'ish symbol by the bottom corners

Here's a scan of an original (on bottom) & Wheat's version
