I would be hard pressed to nail these as reprints if the seller was even less cryptic than these ones are.

How do you sift through the crap without hopping over and asking for opinions (and risking getting sniped at the same time if it's real?)

These are the sellers I rail about all the time. The ones who give novice collectors the impression that maybe they can get something for nothing. My favorite is the Wagner. Somehow posting a picture of PSA SAYING it's fake is going to help the legitimacy of the card???

Very simple rule. If it looks too good to be true it is. If you are buying from a seller who does not GUARANTEE the authenticity of his cards, you are playing with fire. And frankly I think you could post every card you are considering on here and ask for thoughts. I'm new here, but it wouldn't bother me. Thoughts?
