So what I said was just fine and needed no correction, it just ruins the fun for you and it doesn’t for me in my heretical ways. That’s fine.

This may be best for another thread but has anyone come across any pre war reprints/fakes that are getting hard to tell the difference between an original?

I don't think so. There's plenty of profit already in being able to make fakes that fool the less informed bidders. That said, all the molecules to be found in a T206 Wagner or a Baltimore News Ruth are plentiful in the world, and at some point the technology will be sufficiently developed for someone to be able to put them together to create a new card that none of us would be able to distinguish from the original.

With rapidly improving technology, I'm more fearful of someone getting their hands on old card stock and attempting to make counterfeit versions of cards.
