fatima cards
I am the one that was selling the Fatimas on ebay. Did not know it would cause such a stir. Anyway, we will find out the validity of the cards in a few weeks as I have sent them off for grading and I will update you guys. If they are fake, maybe I found the Clown's stash. lol Seriously, thanks for the heads up and I will post the outcome. April

April- I think you definitely did the right thing. If they get graded they will bring you 5x the money you would have received. The problem I see is that the front scans look identical to the reprints which have been sold on ebay. I am only 3 from completing the set so sent off for the NY AL, St.L AL and St.L NL reprint cards to be "placeholders" and they look identical to your front in terms of color, texture, etc. The back scans are what is throwing me as they appear more like the real thing than the fronts.
Good luck and hopefully we'll see them on ebay again. tbob

Bob M, i'm now 3 away from completing the set and lack the same ones that you do.
have you waited an eternity to find the right ones at the right price? i have. your reprint idea as an interim approach is making me think---did it help you keep your patience? best, barry Last edited by ethicsprof; 10-06-2009 at 10:02 PM.

Hi Barry. Yes, the cards are in toploaders filed along with the slabbed rest of the set. The reprints are really nice looking, whoever made them did a much better job than the reprints you see of T205s, 206s etc. I now concentrate on other cards I need while I wait for decent examples of these 3 to show up on ebay

April.
If the ink on the back is not black...and if you hold them at an oblique angle to a light and do not see what looks like "embossing" (albeit slight) of the back printing through the paper and front image.....you are not holding the real McCoy. maybe save some $$ and just send one or two off for grading, presuming there were more than that. thanks for being honest either way!
