Rhett YeakleyBrian, I'm not discounting what you say. All I have to go on is the cards themselves and they have all the hallmarks of a legitimate E121 like card. The ink, paper, etc all point to them being real.
Like I said earlier I too thought they were fake when they first came to light. However, after handling the cards themselves I can't deny that they appear to be real. I can't explain the story the gentleman told you at the Pittsburgh show, as I wasn't there and would have loved to hear his story as to how he knew they were reprints.
Brian, not trying to be confrontational or anything but have you personally handled a card from the ebay find and really examined it? I too thought it was too good to be true until I personally examined one so I understand your skepticism.
All the physical evidence that I have seen points the cards being real.
