Good T206 Reprints

[ronniehatesjazz]

BTW, this is not a knock on the seller who made it very clear that this is a reprint.

Saving “hundreds of thousands of dollars” on the card should be appealing to more than a few.

This one has the dot matrix printing, which is so difficult to reproduce. If the color was a bit better, it would be very convincing. Online, I think you’d be smart to stick with graded cards. In person, I would guess other things would look off about it.

wow, pretty impressive.

[53Browns]

Yes impressive, but reprints are still the spawn of hell. But at least he was forthcoming.

Have I mentioned how much i loathe ALL reprints?

The only "good" reprint is one that clearly has the word "reprint" stamped on it or is printed in some way that makes it clear it isn't an original.

The seller might be forthcoming but it's pretty clear who his target audience is.

I don't mind reprints so long as it's clear that's what they are.

It has a modern pattern from a computer printer. Not the sort of mixed halftone /solid colors of an original.

I'm still ok with buying non- graded on Ebay.

The only good reprint is one that is burning in my fireplace.

+1 They have certainly caused a lot of financial hardship for unsuspecting collectors. I used to think reprints were ok but I dunno anymore....I guess if they are very clearly marked it's ok but the vast majority don't seem to be marked reprint anywhere on them.

I don't have a problem with the seller because he stated in several places
including the title that it is a reprint/fantasy card but I do have a problem
with it not having reprint on it somewhere. Even though most T206
collectors know this Evers pose wasn't printed with any 350 backs
let alone a Drum back some novice collectors could be fooled by
a card like this.

As for the card itself it's better than some of the reprints/fakes
but anyone that can't tell it's a fake should probably stick to
graded cards or a seller you trust until you get a better feel
for spotting the fakes.
