Yowza!! I didn't even know about that until you posted it (and I'm sure every single person reading this thread who has one grabbed their card and flipped it over to see if they had been screwed). Thank God mine states it was printed in the the good ole USA. Are the reprints thinner than normal? In the back scan from that auction, you can see features of the front coming through. Unless the scanner has a uranium-235 element, that shouldn't happen. And the centering is too absolutely perfect all the way around. It sucks you can't contact buyers on ebay anymore.

You're right. I checked mine and was happy to see USA at the bottom.

Glad your guys are good...phew...

Yeah, in hand it's a no brainer...feels like a 2021 Topps card, one of the chrome 52 replicas if you know what I mean. Same thickness and feel.


Troy...I saw that Eddie, that's a hell of a card...tough to find that centered!

Classic Minoso...

Troy:

Very nice Murray! I also really like that card. Great image, player and issue.

Congrats, guys.

Those are some huge pick ups!

[GasHouseGang]

Picked up a couple more '54 Bowmans.

I've been wanting a well-centered 68 Ryan for a while. With how much prices have gone up, I probably should've gotten one a few years ago. (Purchased right here on the B/S/T board!)

Yep this is a seller that has mostly counterfeits. I saw that 63F checklist a lot over the last few months. Doesn't look quite right and priced much too cheap.

Add me to the list of people that hadn't heard about these reprints. At least by putting "Printed In CSA" on the back they made them easy to spot.

[Exhibitman]

If you think about it, Printed In CSA is actually pretty amusing. A fake card printed in a non-existent country. Seems like the counterfeiters decided to have some fun.

[DJCollector1]

Due to "life issues", my pickups have been virtually non-existent for months.

Perusing Ebay, I came across this one, and for the grade and price, the eye appeal really floored me.
Not having any Frank Robinson cards, I had to have it.

Worked out a deal, and extremely happy with it.

The colors are great in hand, and the clarity is very strong for '57s, which can have a multitude of problems.
That said, it does have a slight wrinkle on the front only, which you can barely see at the exact right angle and light.




This is just a cell phone snap, so excuse the cell phone and back lighting reflections, but you should get the idea.

Happy to own this one now and add it in to my collection.

It made me think of the "Confederate States of America" which the rebel army put on some of their equipment.

Over paid for it, but what else is new for me?

That right there is a card worth overpaying for!

No kidding. Dead centered, what a nice card.

Legend says that when US Grant accepted Lee's sword at Appomattox Court House, he gave him a pack of unopened baseball cards to help ease his loss.

I enjoyed this.

Cool. I was fully expecting someone to jump in with, "Lee never actually surrendered his sword, blah, blah, blah...", so your reply was better.

[cornhusker]

Printed in CSA would date the card to around the 1860's. So, the conversation should probably be moved over to the pre-WW2 chat group . When I started collecting cards I picked up one of the fleer checklists mixed in a large lot. Not knowing how scarce it was, I gave it to my daughter with some junk cards to sell at a yard sale. She was thrilled to get $10 for the goofy looking thing. Of course I had to pick one up later in life for a bit more $. Just one of a handful of oops moments. She had a blast selling those cards though.

That's what I meant. A 1963 card printed in the Confederate States of America, e.g., a fake card from a non-existent place.

I kind of thought that's what you meant, but you didn't spell it out so I wasn't sure. Plus, I figured some people wouldn't know what CSA stood for. Anyway, here are photos of one of the fakes.
