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.

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
