I never expected to be pounced on like this... DAMN.... way to be skeptics!! I am just looking for some help identifying these... I got them yesterday and my wife and I spent HOURS listing and taking photos of them.... Trust me I was praying the Wagner would be in there.... These cards are not it great shape.... I expected a little more respect, even being new here, but you guys treat everyone like this? I have taken scans of these here... I am sorry about the lack of proper grammar and spelling, I am just a little too excited!!

Here is a link to my scans of the Cy Young

If you bought those go get your money back asap they are not real.

I saw the rest of your pics. All fakes. Likewise, Sovereigns do not have blue backs either.

I believe your story. I really don't think a scammer is going to take time to scan all those cards, front and back.

I absolutely believe the original poster was just posting to show his great find. Unfortunately, they are all fakes. Forget that they were on Craigslist (ok, so that is about 99.9% proof enough...but there was still a .01% chance they were real)....and see the explanations why they are not real. Some of them are just wrong color, some are obvious (well, up close all will be obvious) and some might actually look real but won't be. The paper will be wrong, the printing will be wrong, the feel will be wrong....and so forth. best regards

Scott,

The T206 Cy Young cards are all reprints. Sorry about that..........hopefully you can somehow get your money back.

The scans of the Cy Youngs prove they are all fakes.

Problem #1 - No such thing as a blue back sweet caporal.

Problem #2 - All the Cy Young portraits have the exact same centering on the front & back of the cards.

Red flags all over. I hope you didn't purchase these.
