Default How many people on Ebay will be duped by these?

A T206 collector will spot them as fakes. But to the uninformed consumer, or a newbie, once these sets are broken up, this spells trouble. Big trouble.

They're pristine now. But it's not hard to add a little corner wear, or soil the edges just a bit.

Now, I'm not saying anything bad about the creator of these cards. As somebody that has started collecting the set, I'd love to have these to look at. But you know there are unscrupulous people that will take these, and take advantage of others. There is nothing that identifies them as reprints, at least from what I can see, and that's opening Pandora's box.

Net 54, and reputable dealers are more important than ever.
