Reprints?

[tonyo]

I like a well done reprint to occupy spots of very expensive cards (or cards I just don't want to spend the market value on) in collections, but the condition has to be very very similar to the other authentic cards in my set.
I've tried a few times, but so far I only have two that I really like that fit in well with the rest of my set. One is a t206 Honus Wagner with a Broadleaf back, of course I don't have a Honus, nor do I have a Broadleaf back. This reprint takes care of two holes in my t206 set. I also have a 67 Seaver that looks very very similar to my other 67's.

I'd love to find a 33 Goudey Lajoie that fits my 33 Goudey Set.

I've bought a 48/49 Leaf Satchel Paige and an e90 Cobb before thinking they would look fine amongst my others, but they don't.

I also have that 52 topps reprint set from the 80's, but they don't do it for me now that I own several real ones.

Also have a monster reprint that I bought from BST Auctions (vintagetoppsguy I think) back when I was trying get the monster to let me quit.


I'll probably sell both of those sets one day when I take a notion.


Along with a 40 playball Paul Waner that I bought thinking it was real, I believe that is it for me on reprints (as far as I know anyway)
