I almost bid on them when they were cheap. I couldn't tell if the ink was black or brown from the pics so I never bid. Are all of them black ink?

I'm glad you posted, so guys like me won't make the same mistake (hopefully).

not really close, many of the T206 reprints look like this card

Yeah , they are all the same. It was a lot easier to tell once cards were in hand. If I go back and look at them now its obvious but live and learn.

Lesson learned; not an expensive one. Maybe use them as a reference for future purchases.
