Mike Wheat who I buy from regularly and absolutely support has listed some T3 reprints that he has made. They are the CORRECT size which makes them harder to distinguish than the other reprints made of this issue. I personnally do not like the fact that they are not balently lmarked reprint. He put small markings in each bottom corner on the back, well this is great for collectors who know the issue but newbes will easily be burned after the doctors get ahold of these and put them in ovens and soak them in coffee or whatever they do to make them look old. When I made the 1894 Orioles reprints, I plastered "REPRODUCTION" across the back. Yes it isn't as pretty as it could be but I haven't seen a doctored fake yet. Just a thought, what are the board's thoughts on this? Here is Mike's description:

Our reproductions, which are available exclusively through Mike Wheat Cards, are so realistic that even veteran hobbyists have mistaken them for the real thing. Incredibly, in many cases, the richness of the color is superior to that of the originals.
