I don't know about official reprint sets, but some clown out of Florida whose Ebay ID was "Marketkingman" created some T222 fakes in early 2008 and was trying to sell them on Ebay. He even went so far as to paste them into an old scrapbook. I couldn't tell you the numbers, but I remember seeing at least 3 or 4 different T222's.

T222 Fatima Concerns
One of the problems regarding T222 fatimas is that some have been soaked which removes the photo's gloss. The grading companies, including SGC, still have graded them, when they should be considered altered from the way they were issued/produced.

Not the best scans, but thoughts anyway?

hard to tell
Hard to tell from the scan but the paper should be just like photographic paper on the front. Very glossy paper. I see little bits of crackling which is good unless it's a copy of a good one.
Personally I haven't seen the ones that have been soaked but it sounds reasonable that it would remove the gloss.....

T222
Nice Johnson.
It looks good to me; Leon's cautions make sense to consider. i've compared it as best I can with the Lapp T222 that i have in hand and the ostensible lack of gloss on the Johnson is the only thing that might make me a bit careful. best, barry
