fkwDont buy that reprint garbage, its worthless. Buy authentic common T206 cards, they can be had for under $20 all the time. Look at how they are made (lithograph) and the design front and back. Then when you have a question on a card compare the two. Compare the border color and width, the thin black line surounding the picture, the caption ink color, font and spacing of the letters. On back see if there is a Factory District number at bottom, see if the ink is the right color, and then check the wear patterns with your authentic common cards. Then if everything looks good see if it looks trimmed or restored.
The card pictured is glossy, has borders that are too wide, and is missing the thin black line around the picture. Bad reprint shouldnt fool anyone.
