Default Quickest way to spot a reprint/fake T206 on Ebay
Many of us have tried to bring attention to scammers or questionable sellers trying to peddle reprint/fake T206s. Usually it's Wagers, Cobbs, WaJos, Youngs, etc..But, almost any T206 is game. I thought it useful to provide a list of things that immediately disqualify or bring extreme skepticism right off the bat (no pun intended). I would start by saying any listing that states "Please read the description" is a pretty good indicator...

Those little brown cracks all over the card. I have never seen a real card with them.

Perforations - hard to see but usually indicate a reprint. Also if it has 'Renata Galasso Reprint' on the back.

Two pretty good indicators for the advanced collector.

You have to look for the keywords in the description:
I’m not an expert
I found this in an attic / estate sale
According to eBay rules I have to list this as a reproduction
Graded by CGS / ABC / XYZ
Sold as is - no returns

Perfect centering or a very worn card without creases are both orange flags. (I made that up, it's between yellow and red)

Probably my favorite, if it's to good to be true, it probably is. But honestly, if the letters in the name are black, the card looks glossy, the corners look like worm layered paper, sold as a reprint, no returns accepted, overly pushy seller.
