There was a recent post about how hard it is to find graded Magee portraits on ebay. Either way, congrats on the Waddell! That's one on the top of my list, fantastic pickup

Thanx! hey folks, I was looking around today on ebay and came across this auction : http://www.ebay.com/itm/222163934122...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT



now he lists it as a reprint with this cryptic language that hints it might be real. Now, as a total noob on these things (aside from lusting for them from afar as a younger guy) I pulled up a legit PSA 3 auction of the same card and couldn't spot the difference.

so, my question is, how do you sift through the reprints to find the real thing? When I was younger all reprints had "reprint" or "RP" on them somewhere, these look legit, especially to a novice.

Nick,

first off congrats.

Second off if you can point me in the direction of the seller who is selling HOF cards for $35 I'd appreciate it!

hahaha I'll bet!

I'm currently watching a couple of other auctions by this guy for old (what became the Braves) Boston T206 cards. let's just say he said up front he knows nothing about cards and is trying to sell em for wtvr he can get)

That Johnson is clearly fake. That seller is referenced in another thread about fakes.

Ugh, very fake, don't touch it. If someone isn't willing to commit firmly to authenticity it is never worth the gamble ESPECIALLY as a novice buyer.
