Good T206 Reprints

[T206Collector]

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.

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.

It's an argument I make a LOT. Most of what is being sold as reprints are actually counterfeits. CCC did reprints, Renata Galasso did reprints, someone with their home computer is making counterfeits, and even those who sell them "responsibly" like the seller in question at the beginning of this thread is counting on unscrupulous buyers who are buying with the intent to defraud somewhere down the line.

I know you do Scott and I agree with you 100%.

Scott,

You bring up a good point. Most of these so called reprints are actually counterfeits.

eBay has a written policy on replicas/fakes: Check the following link:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/...unterfeit.html

It states:

Counterfeits, unauthorized replicas, unauthorized items (such as counterfeit watches, handbags, or other accessories) or unauthorized copies (such as copies of software programs, video games, music albums, movies, television programs, or photographs) are not permitted on eBay. Unauthorized copies include (but are not limited to) copies that are pirated, duplicated, backed-up or bootlegged. It is illegal to sell unauthorized copies of media.

So, shouldn't these listings that are selling reprints (counterfeits) be pulled by eBay?
