Current e-bay auction:

"This auction is for a T206 Ty Cobb green portrait in ex+ condition with no creases just minor corner wear. This example is belived to be an old reprint it looks very real to real to be exact cause it is printed on the exact same kind of old thin card stock as real T206 cards are. the winning bidder wont belive his eyes when he see's how real this card looks."

You won't believe your eyes when you see how real the card looks? "Use these counterfit greenbacks- you won't believe how real they look"

is also auctioning an "Authintic Eddie Plank" card with the same "very real to real" language. They probably intentionally misspelled "authentic" so if someone challenges them after buying the card and finding out it's a fake, the seller can say "Hey- we didn't say it was AUTHENTIC!"

This example is belived to be an old reprint it looks very real to real to be exact cause it is printed on the exact same kind of old thin card stock as real T206 cards are the winning bidder won't belive his eyes when he see's how real this card looks. It will make a great addtition to your collection. I wil start the bidding at 1.00 please add 2.00 for shipping money ordrs and cashers checks only."

The seller is trying to get people to subscribe to the "if it's on cardboard, it's authintic" school of thought.

could "real to real" mean "reel to reel" (old fashioned movie machine)?

Guess I gotta go look at the card...
