But Joe, 50 years later?

This isn't like printing USA greenbacks of today because you can find matching stock and the ink is one color......

I'm not saying you wouldn't make nice reprints, but line them up against orginal t206 and tell me you couldn't instantly tell them apart.

Goudeys on the other hand were printed on stock that seems to have much greater variance in it - grayer/bigger grain/larger pulp , so too the inks. If you wanted to make nice dull goudeys to pass off, I could certainly imagine doing that some 15-20 years after the originals were created. Even then, those who have suggested the 'prank' were careful to make it kind of obvious.
