House fire turns Sweet Caps Green and Badgers Lose

Just noticed that this has been added to the listing:

For all of those who keep telling me these are reprints, please do your research before emailing me. I found them in a collection and these are not reprints. The paper and ink used in these cards are from the era the T206 cards were produced. There are variation colors and backs to this series. Some are just rarer then others.And others the ink has faded due to old age, wear, staining and different card stock from that era. You will be able to tell once you have these cards in your hands. It is very hard to tell in a photo, but the distinct features show a huge difference versus the reprints. I have many reprints of the Topps T206 cards and they have different backs and color features. All the reprints you will see have solid colors on the front of the cards. If you notice, My cards have details in the background and faces etc. Also the reprints do not have solid black lines outlining the picture like mine have. The reproductions have small bubbly looking black dotted lines. Just because mine have a bigger border then most just means the centering is off. If you go to the T206 museum website, you will see some of their originals with a slightly higher border at the top compared to others in the collection. This is just a centering issue. The reprints also have the name and the team at the bottom in the same font size. These do not. If you examine closely, you will see that the name is slightly bigger then the team they played for like the originals. There are no known reprints that have the features of the cards I am selling. All the reprints I have seen on ebay and the internet and in person also usually say on the back Reprint, Reproduction, the subjects number is a number that does not exist. The best test is to hold it in the light. If the card is see through where you can see the other side, then it's definitely a reproduction. Both of these cards in the light are solid. You cannot see through to the other side. Also when it comes to measurements of the T206 card, here is the measurements 1 7⁄16 inches (3.65 cm) and a height of 2 5⁄8 inches (6.67 cm) which my two cards are and the reprints are slightly larger both width and height. So if you have an opinion leave it to urself. I have the cards in hand and I know how they feel and look. These are not popular players so it is hard to spot the similarities of the fakes vs the authentic. With all the evidence and research then look to be the original. I am an hoest seller and always have been. i would not waste my time posting these if I did not think they were 100% original.

I'm not sure we have had a thread on the "See Through" Test to detect reprints. Check.

Big borders are indicative of centering issues. Check.

Fred Clarke was not popular, so his election to the Hall of Fame must have been a fluke. Check.

These cards have details in the face like two eyes, a nose and a mouth, so they cannot be reprints. Check.

Now I'm convinced. I am going to request that Ebay withdraw my fraudulent listing report.

I reiterate the longer the explanation the more fraudulent they are.

If you really want to upset him, tell him his Goudey's are reprints and the only reason they don't say reprint on them is because someone scratched the word out on the back of each of them.

Yep, i received the same messages. I was rather insulting to him as well, and it was well deserved. This guy is an idiot.

I mentioned a green sweet caporal back, and his defense and comeback was that it was actually a "Faded blue". I sent back only electronic laughter, and then sent 15 links talking about people asking about Blue Sweet Caporal backs.

Frank, I haven't gone back to the listing since you initially linked it. But, when I read your update, and knowing you, I am not certain if you are be your usual Frankself or the seller's alibi is actually "real". Here's one of my faves:
If you notice, My cards have details in the background and faces etc.

Looks like the Goudey listing has been pulled.
