I'm not aware of any reprints of the D303 set, and certainly none in that size.

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>As I posted, I know it's not a D303.<br />It COULD be like the raviolis you eat on Sunday; but I'm asking if anyone KNOWS what it is. Perhaps someone has seen a double-size reprint set in production before; is there a whole set or just the Wagner? etc...<br /><br />Steve - not to take the thread in a different direction, but I don't think her listing meets the criterion for removal; she is openly selling it as a reprint.

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>Steve-<br />I don't think this could really count as misleading..the seller does state several times it is a reprint. This isn't one on ebay I would expect to get pulled, nor do I really think it should....if people can't read the auction description paragraph they shouldn't be messing around on ebay <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Steve</b><p> Dave, it's an Authenticity Disclaimer. "My card expert thinks it's real though I'm not sure, yada yada yada, others think it's real, blah blah blah to be safe... listing as a reprint." <br /><br />This guy <i>knows</i> it's counterfeit, but is trying to cover... Blatantly deceptive. ebay will take action if enough reports roll in.<br /><br />Dave, Matt. The ad has been revised since. Still, the seller isn't listing a reprint, but selling <i>as</i> a reprint. He should just add another 's' cuz that's what we are to him.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>You obviously are having a hard time comprehending what a reprint is. That card is a fake reprint.....Google definitions of these words if you need to...

Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>Fakes come in all shapes and sizes Matt. It doesn't have to meet the criteria of previously issued reprints. One of the beauties of modern printing technology <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Ok...I get it....sorry for my not understanding the question exactly...the card looked normal size and then I just read the very bottom comment from the seller about the size. This card IS much bigger than D303's (which is the only "set" I collect).....so to answer your question I don't know of any regular reprinted D303 set this size. This is a very bad home made reprint. Larry Frisch has made many reprint sets but most, if not all, of his are fairly normal size. I still think the seller is scamming as they still leave the door open for it being real.... Does that answer your question? I am not trying to be mean at all.....best regards

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>thanks leon - that's exactly the question I'm asking. I just don't think this seller made this herself as a fake; otherwise, she wouldn't let everyone know it's fake. Plus, you'd have to be an idiot to make a forgery of a card twice the size of the original.<br /> So, I'm wondering where it came from...

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>My guess....they got it at a garage sale, antique store, or flea market for 25 cents or did make it themself....
