He isn't sure, but he knows the original printing process for Topps and Bowman. And knows how fakes are printed. Kinda weird that he knows all that but can't tell if what he has is legitimate 😂. Almost like he's the one that created them.

I don't think he reallzes there is an Authenticator. Talks about shipping signature required blah blah.

And there is this LOL what an absolute crock of nonsense.

I obviously haven't had them graded & can't tell you anything but what I see & what I was told... bottom line, these cards look amazing! To be fair, being I'm not 100% sure I'm going to sell them all as reprints, but honestly I don't even think they made reprints 40-50 years ago, plus I've seen plenty of reprints & I have never seen one that used Offset Lithography Mechanical Printing, which is what Topps & Bowman have used since the turn of the century & still do today! It's a fact that 99.99% of all reprints you see online for sale are printed with a Laser or Inkjet printer, not Offset Lithography Mechanical Printing is a process where photographs of the original artworks are converted into a photographic negative (“plate”). They are then transferred (“offset”) from a plate to a rubber blanket, then to the printing surface for mass production. I figured I would put them up and let you be the judge... all I can tell you is they look totally legit to me & I think you'll see the same thing.Good luck!
