Maybe I'm not seeing what you're seeing. The real OM and the blue Walsh OM aren't lined up in the photo posted. The real OM is larger and the tops and bottoms of the cards are not at equal points. The back printing is lined up, but the tops and bottoms of the cards are not.

Edited to add the top borders of the real card and reprint are aligned in Ted's photo, but not the Walsh photo.

The Walsh and the Real OM posted in the side by side photo are clearly different sizes, at least from the perspective of that photo.

What are you saying? The cards back print aligns, the cards are centered differently as are 19 zillion T206's, but overall the cards are roughly the same dimension. The Blue OM and the black are near perfect text alignment matches where the obvious reprint and real OM are very far off on back alignment.

Ted aligned the top frame line just as the second poster did with the Blue OM. There are obvious differences in layout on the known reprint versus the Blue OM, which happens to match both black OM's shown.

How in your opinion have they been aligned? You can clearly see that the top borders of the Walsh and the real OM are NOT aligned. The real OM goes above Walsh's top border and stops short from its bottom border.

My point is that the text aligns only when you cheat and align them by sight. They DO NOT align when the cards are placed on an equal plane top to bottom. They have to be manipulated to line up correctly.

Again, at least from the photo posted.

Ted's point is that the Blue reprints are not perfect copies of the original cards. They are cropped and printed differently using the real text and design as a model, but not reproducing it correctly. The Blue Walsh seems to share this same characteristic as the reprints.

the cards should align by the print, not the borders, all cards are misaligned to the left or right or top to bottom. Take 10 T206's and put the bottom edge on a straightline, probably none of the printed framelines will line up. Take the same group and align the top border with the straightline and ALL of the bottom framelines will be on the same plane.

huh? the frame is perfectly aligned.

Post #1 shows that the fake OM (the crappy one on the left) has a frame much shorter than the confirmed one (on the right). The Walsh OM aligns perfectly with the confirmed OM on post #5. Therefore the fake OM from post #1 would be a lot shorter than the Walsh OM.

I'm not going to change your mind. Don't even know why I got involved as I have no interest in the card either way.

Nor making a valid argument or much sense for that matter.

Anyone can see the printing is identical and matched perfect. The RP OM's appear to be about 1/8" smaller in frame size than an original. The Walsh matches the originals spot on other than color. As of now there is only one copy. Now it's known to look out for this on the OM's it's only a matter of time before more surface. Then what will be said by those that have never seen or touched it in person. "Awe there all fakes!"

Is there a single person that was at the nationals that seen the card in person that says its fake? I bet that's a no.

Now how many weren't there that say it is fake? A lot of people that don't know what there talking about.

Your PC/Mac is not the same as the look, feel, and smell in person. Then again this could be the best fake in the world. Remove the back ink and print new ink without damaging the front at all. lMFAO!!!!!smh
