No we don't. The first one is of a reprint set done much later.

That Jim Brown bazooka box is a reprint? Really? So Bazooka reprinted this set again or did a different company do it? What year did they do this?

I do know that there have been many attempts at replicating / reprinting these cards. If you go to ebay you will see all sorts of additional players (vintage and new) with this design. I'm not sure if the box you are showing is from 1959 or not but I would just be careful ... Typically the replicated / reprinted cards are fairly easy to spot as the background white is much brighter than you see on the originals. I expect if you look at the printing technique and compare one you know is an original with one you are not sure, that you will be able to detect a fake. jeff |

I do see some "personally made" 1959 Bazooka football cards on eBay, but these ones use different pictures and different players who were never featured in the original set. I'm not too bothered by this.
Have you ever seen any counterfeits of the originals on eBay? I don't see any up at the moment. If I want to purchase a raw Unitas, for example, are you saying that there is a chance it might not be real? Counterfeiters tend to target cards that have become really popular among collectors, and I hate to say this, but I don't think the 1959 Bazooka football cards have reached this level yet. This could obviously change in the future though.

I could swear I've seen a Brown that looked suspect on ebay but its definitely not there now.

I have seen a Brown that PSA graded despite being cut well inside the cut lines.

But that's an entirely different issue than whether there are fakes/reprints of these cards out there. jeff |

Kind of like your issue with Beckett but you are still drinking PSA Kool-Aid (which is fine by me but seems a bit hypocritical).
