Fake T206s on eBay

[trdcrdkid]

Seller "buc_kris" has a bunch of T206 reprints up on eBay, with no indication that they're reprints and with the "Reprint" line on the back crudely whited out:

He started them out at $0.99 each, and thankfully people don't seem to be biting. A few have been bid up to $1.25 or $2.25.

Under condition is he selling a card or a Video Games/DVD/VHS. not real for sure


Acceptable: An item with obvious and significant wear but is still operational. May have tears or holes in VHS/DVD box. The video game instructions and box may not be included. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections. See all condition definitions- opens in a new window or tab

Nice catch David. These are some real pieces of crap that this guy is selling.

David- This was a great catch. It's bad enough that's he's selling a fake to begin with, but to white out the bottom back of the card is misleading the bidding public, & could be a criminal offense.

Not only that the Bernhard is a PD 150 and he's a southern leaguer and they were only printed in the 350 series.

At least they are in "acceptable" condition!!

Removing the reprint text counts as forgery.

You guys have it all wrong! I messaged him, and it turns out that those are STAINS! The cards are "Not a reprint."

Why can't you guys believe that 15 cards each have a stain in the exact spot the word "reprint" would be???

Thanks for that info Ken. I was worried about my 15 bids until you reassured me!

Looks like these repros were soaked -- in the toilet.

Did he also explain why none of the cards have a factory, district and state on them?

More stains perhaps?

[earlywynnfan]

He said, " under the mark or stain it says subjects large assortments , cigarette of quality" He owns a reprint, and these are NOT reprints. I believe he's going to bull his way through with these.

wrong place. rookie move.

[Deertick]

Funny how all of the other cards he has were scans, not some blurry cellphone pic.
