real or fake t206?
Posted By: steve
how do the pro"s tell the difference between the real 1909 t206 cards and the reprints if they look identical to the naked eye the reprints from the 50"s or 60"s? do not say reprint on them and look the same as the originals. i collect t206 cards and enjoy the fun of finding and collecting them. is there a way to tell the difference or do the experts tell by the dots. thank you and if anybody can answer my questions, please reply.thanks again, |

There are usually differences in reprints and originals. BTW I dont think there are reprints from the 50's and 60's, T206 originals were cheap back then (most well under $1 ea.), why make reprints. Most of the reprints are from the 1980's-now. |

I agree with the previous post. In addition, when you know what to look for, the reprints simply do not "look identical to the naked eye." |

I think what Frank said was very true and well put. However, the statement about you will never find an authentic Cobb or Wagner on ebay for under $200 just isn't true. A Wagner yes it is true for but I managed this Cobb on ebay about a year ago for almost $100 even. I know it doesn't happen often at all but there is still a slight chance it might. |

...in knowing how that Cobb was listed. In any event, that Cobb is the functional equivalent of winning the lottery. People who pay $100 for Cobbs on ebay will 99.9999% of the time find themselves holding worthless reproductions. The stories of the fortunate lottery winners keep them playing the game... |

Relevant to the original post, the below linked booklet goes through all the methods and theory of card dot/printing patterns, ink, paper stock, etc. |
