It looks like a D303, but the sizing is all wrong. I'm not aware of any reprints of the D303 set, and certainly none in that size.

As I posted, I know it's not a D303.
It COULD be like the raviolis you eat on Sunday; but I'm asking if anyone KNOWS what it is. Perhaps someone has seen a double-size reprint set in production before; is there a whole set or just the Wagner? etc...

Steve - not to take the thread in a different direction, but I don't think her listing meets the criterion for removal; she is openly selling it as a reprint.

Steve-
I don't think this could really count as misleading..the seller does state several times it is a reprint. This isn't one on ebay I would expect to get pulled, nor do I really think it should....if people can't read the auction description paragraph they shouldn't be messing around on ebay

Dave, it's an Authenticity Disclaimer. "My card expert thinks it's real though I'm not sure, yada yada yada, others think it's real, blah blah blah to be safe... listing as a reprint."

This guy knows it's counterfeit, but is trying to cover... Blatantly deceptive. ebay will take action if enough reports roll in.

Dave, Matt. The ad has been revised since. Still, the seller isn't listing a reprint, but selling as a reprint. He should just add another 's' cuz that's what we are to him.

You obviously are having a hard time comprehending what a reprint is. That card is a fake reprint.....Google definitions of these words if you need to...

Apparently, I'm having a hard time explaining to leon my question; can someone articulate it better then me? I thought I was clear in my third post.

Fakes come in all shapes and sizes Matt. It doesn't have to meet the criteria of previously issued reprints. One of the beauties of modern printing technology

Ok...I get it....sorry for my not understanding the question exactly...the card looked normal size and then I just read the very bottom comment from the seller about the size. This card IS much bigger than D303's (which is the only "set" I collect).....so to answer your question I don't know of any regular reprinted D303 set this size. This is a very bad home made reprint. Larry Frisch has made many reprint sets but most, if not all, of his are fairly normal size. I still think the seller is scamming as they still leave the door open for it being real.... Does that answer your question? I am not trying to be mean at all.....best regards

thanks leon - that's exactly the question I'm asking. I just don't think this seller made this herself as a fake; otherwise, she wouldn't let everyone know it's fake. Plus, you'd have to be an idiot to make a forgery of a card twice the size of the original.
So, I'm wondering where it came from...

My guess....they got it at a garage sale, antique store, or flea market for 25 cents or did make it themself....

bad home-made?!?

Are you saying the raviolis I eat on Sundays are no good?

Joe - I believe you said that...
