Step one - realize that there are virtually no legitimate reprints of Topps cards. Topps is still in business, why on earth would they authorize someone to do a reprint? If there's money to be made THEY'LL do the reprint a la Archives.
You probably ACTUALLY want to know the difference between an original and a counterfeit. THe best way is to be very familiar with the issue in question. If you're tempted to buy a dubious Seaver just because it's a great deal, and you know virtually nothing about 1967 Topps, you should probably rethink your approach. You are a prime target for counterfeiters. That being said you do have this amazing resource full of knowledgeable people called Net54. Post it and get answers!

Hey Richard,
One easy way is to check with a loop. The yellow and white boarders on the Seaver are solid, i.e. No printing dots. The picture of his face has a distinct print dot pattern that I have never seen done on a reprint. Not saying that it is impossible though. Check a real 67 card side by side. The printing dots are in a circular pattern. Modern printing equipment is in a linear X pattern. Please do not take this as a guarantee. These are solely my opinions and observations. Anybody who knows more please correct me... Thanks

Thanks to all who replied.
My bad, should have said fake or counterfeit instead of reprint. Thanks for the link and the tip on the autograph. Hi Al, thanks for the testimonial, but I am definitely a newbie when it comes to detecting fake cards. Thanks Nate for the info, see you in AC in a week! I agree, this board is one of the best resources for us collectors! Richard D |
