T205 reprints

How many known reprints were ever done of t205 card sets?

[Leon]

About 2.5 million, I think. Seriously I think there are thousands and thousands of almost all of our cards as reprints.

Damn. A few of those reprints actually look pretty legit. Definitely aren't though..

... I know Dover did a reprint. I'm not sure if that was the entire set or just select cards. I'm not sure who else has reprinted the set. It seems frequently to pop up more as counterfeit than reprint as Leon demonstrates.

I'm sure others know much more about it than I do..

I guess, what I'm getting at is whether the counterfeits are prevalent? I have heard that there are even old "reprint/counterfeit" cards from who knows when.

T205's are in the group of rarely counterfeited cards...as the reprints for this set tend to be obvious. The gold borders are apparently relatively tough to copy...I don't think I've ever seen a good fake (or maybe I just saw a really good fake ;-) ) There are reprint sets...but nothing that comes close to matching the originals.
