Frank WakefieldI agree with the 1917 date, but that doesn't really matter, if the cards are genuine.
Vanessa, any chance you have a black light? If you illuminate reprint cards with ultraviolet light, then the brighteners in the paper will fluoresce, they will shine bright. On old card stock from when these cards were issued there were not brighteners in the paper... Using a black light would be a good way to tell the difference if you aren't experienced about discerning the differences.
You might scan one or two of the cards and post them here. Posting an image isn't terribly complicated, we oldsters can do it. Email one of us and we'll talk you through it.
If the cards are authentic thew would have value. If not authentic, not much resale value. And Barry is right, Mark knows his stuff. Seems to me that teenage kids sometimes label these grading holders, and they sometimes get stuff wrong.
With kind regards, Frank.
