Absolutely true Corey, enormous incentives.

But to buy a period printing press (eg. authentic Heidelberg) will cost you 100K plus.
Then all the incedentals of ink, paper, and technical research and application to achieve the result...in all I don't think you would roll off a copy to even check for under 150K - 175K.

And then, you better hope like hell your reprint doesn't look like exactly that, otherwise you could be doing nothing but producing reprints for 10c a piece in the hopes of one day recouping your investment. A Methusela type prospect!

Sounds dumb to me, but not impossible

Not if all this was available to you and you were just doing it to see if it could be done. Like if all the presses at Topps or the presses that created Goudey's were available to your disposal. Hmmm, funny thing about this board.
Creating real looking reprints back in the 50's are out of the question, but making a freaking Goudey Calendar from 1930 as a proof and put it in the printers desk is a possibility. Yes you've all seen the Wagner. Yes it's been blessed by PSA. How could they ever make a mistake the large. Who says they made a mistake? That single card put them on the map.
