T206 - Mystery Reprints

Bpm0014 · #1 06-24-2020, 08:55 AM

I'm not sure why we spent more than 2 minutes on this. Definitely 100% without question reprints. Probably 2 reprints glued together. Everything is totally wrong on the cards to be considered authentic or even "scrap".

Agreed they're reprints. Do you have a recommendation for a service (possibly PSA) who can conduct a forensic deep-dive, to verify if they're legit reprints (an unknown two-sided portrait set), two reprints glued together, or a fake entirely? I've been wondering for 30 years and want to put this to rest using a service who has the ability to make this determination.

I'm sure you could convince them to charge you for it.

LOL.....

If it were me I would be satisfied knowing they are reprints. Scientifically proving it seems redundant BUT I have done similar things just to cure my curiosity.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a rare unknown reprint card more desirable on the market than an amateur's counterfeit created in someone's basement?

Many armature made custom cards sell for way more than legit reprints. In this case if someone offered you $1 for it you should be very happy and take the cash.

Maybe to clear up terminology here, fake and reprint are the same thing.

For this discussion, sure. Those T206 are fakes.

There are legitimate reprints, though. Topps does it all the time.
