Good T206 Reprints

[ronniehatesjazz]

Saw this on eBay. Looks much better than other T206 reprints I've seen. Something still looks off about it but it definitely looks more authentic than most reprints I've seen. What are your guys thoughts? Are we getting to a point where you almost have to never buy raw cards online?

BTW, this is not a knock on the seller who made it very clear that this is a reprint.

Saving “hundreds of thousands of dollars” on the card should be appealing to more than a few.

This one has the dot matrix printing, which is so difficult to reproduce. If the color was a bit better, it would be very convincing. Online, I think you’d be smart to stick with graded cards. In person, I would guess other things would look off about it.

Yes impressive, but reprints are still the spawn of hell. But at least he was forthcoming.

Have I mentioned how much i loathe ALL reprints?

It has a modern pattern from a computer printer. Not the sort of mixed halftone /solid colors of an original.

I'm still ok with buying non- graded on Ebay.

The only good reprint is one that is burning in my fireplace.
