I wrote the guy the same day this was posted and 3-4 days later the seller got back to me wondering how I knew it is a fake?

I posted the link to Dover reprints and only stated, as I didn't know him, that his border was a dead give away.

He stated he purchased the card from KSA themselves as it was very close to his son's college?

I see he has now ended the listing. I told him to get his money back if his story was true but then, just checking out his site, he has a lot of high end cards listed for cheap, .99 cents but yet some commons or other less known players listed much higher?

I don't know for sure, but it seems odd that Mantle's, Clemente's etc are listed so low, although he says they are real, and other, lesser known players are much higher?
Can anyone tell if these are fake/reprints as well?

As to your question, some look real, some don't....

My thoughts are, the guy knows exactly what he's doing and what he owns.

I could be wrong but his e-mail reply didn't sound like he was surprised/ticked off that he had purchased a fake but rather that I pointed out to him that it was?

He wanted to know how I knew, what signs (plural) that lead me to my conclusion.
Like I mentioned, I only told him of the border as it was a dead give away and stated, because I didn't know him, that was all I was going to say.

I have received no reply back from him, if that means anything?

His statement speaks for itself of course and you are correct.

I always smile when someone uses the "you can't prove it" defense in a nickel and dime debate about someone doing something and being caught. To me, them saying you can't prove it, proves they did it, most times.
