The item#'s are virtually the same, so it's likely the same seller. Just a guess, but it must be someone with printing skill who is cranking out realistic-looking copies of starcards and selling them in lots. That's unfortunate because a lot of unwitting buyers will probably get duped down the road. If you have scans of the Mays reprint (front and back), please post it here.
Oh no! Look at what I started. Yikes! The Mays reprint is indeed from the same seller. I do not have any scans, however the original listing can be found here: http://http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-o...item1c54cf03af The item # is 121681937327 ("Lot of 25 Reprint 1954 Bowman Willie Mays #89 Reprint). Good thing I got my card from a nice dealer at a show. The condition isn't good but the eye appeal is still there and I am happy to have the card as part of my collection.
