Hey guys,
Does anyone have some tips on spotting a real T3 from a reprint? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

make sure it has an "orange peel effect" texture on the front, look at the back for natural toning (not too white or artifically aged), look for the Mike Wheat reprint "sun marks" on the back at the bottom two corners or paper loss where they should be, card should measure 5 ¾ x 8".

Thank you for your help. I see the "orange peel" thing you speak of.

BICEM's info is spot on.
Here is the Mike Wheat repro w/ the sunbursts
set against an authentic card.
There are some subtle differences like the finish
thats hard to detect via a scan...jay
