Over the weekend I was visiting with a boxing collector who asked me to look at a series of sets of cards he'd compiled. The set is known to have been reprinted at least twice. I was able to lay the cards down side by side and show him how the reprints can be distinguished from the genuine article. Sometimes that is what it takes. 1948 HOF exhibits, for example, are cards I will not buy on Ebay because the reprints are too good to be able to distinguish except in person. I also have a few of the scarce pose 1947-66 Exhibit reprints. Again, too good to distinguish except in person.
