Would like to see the backs. Scans don't look good. But why would anyone fake those two commons?

They're most likely aged legit reprints, not something someone went to a ton of expense to set up to defraud.

Lazy fakers didn't even bother making the backs upside-down like 1915s are supposed to be. :eek:

Unless GM just chose to flip the scans. I'm far from an expert on Cracker Jacks, but yeah - that black print does look awfully bold.

Going by the crease marks, the backs don't appear to be upside-down.

A month or two ago there was a person selling a handful of t206s on another forum. Something about the cards just seemed a little off to me. The seller had stellar feedback on the forum and proof the cards came awhile back from Greg Morris so talking with a MOD, he was comfortable letting the sales post continue. Honestly, it could just have been the seller's camera playing tricks, but I have never seen authentic t206's without the proper shading pattern.

I kept an image for future reference. 1st is my image is my card, second is one the seller had and was offering.

I am still awaiting for Mr. Toe Moss to show if his allegedly genuine Merkle CJ received an authentic grade from SGC. If so, I owe him $100, and I always pay my debts.

There were also the Dover reprint cards which fooled a lot of newbie CJ collectors.

Hopefully they didn't fool anyone who was paying more than scant attention. The Dovers all say reprint on the backs, and the fronts are glossy with colors that are way off...

hi quality job on that back though, it looks better than the front. Kinda scary.

That’s big talk from someone who’s about to lose a bet about a fake CJ.

Why are you being so antagonistic? We have a bet, that's all.

Not big talk, just mentioning another set of reprints-Dover reprints. I know for a fact that some CJ collectors got fooled by them. Why are you being so antagonistic? We have a bet, that's all.
