T200 Reprints

I echo Leon's sentiments. I am working on a set. All of the cards I have acquired have been graded; not by choice it is just that the stock is thin & more delicate than cardstock.

In addition, it is easier to tell if the card is a repro if you ask for scans of the back. Most of the reprints I have seen have a different appearance on the back (easier to pick up artificial aging).
