The problem is that they weren't legit. If I read the archives correctly, they fooled a very knowledgable veteran collector here. Apparently, they were the reprints that were cut out, had a backing applied to them, and had been soaked in coffee. I'll post the link if I can find it again.
Anyway, it is this kind of thing that I'm trying to avoid.

Well, at least my comment about not trusting AH's that are selling on liveauctioneers.com is still valid! My argument just got stronger!

Here are the links...
The first one shows they were the same size as the reprints. The second one includes a bit of a discussion I believe about these three cards in the first line. http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...ighlight=middy http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...ighlight=middy

Agree with Dan...
Different size and much poorer lithography is what I have seen too, especially with the smallest letters. Quote:

I'm not used to you posting cards without a quarter in them, Leon!
In this case, I was actually looking for it for scale since we were talking about their size compared to the reprints. Bummer! Thanks for posting them anyway!

Reviving an old thread here. Has a Hafey surfaced over the last few years?
