Guys:
Thanks for you input.
But most of you missed these words in my post:
say for example,
The 53 Topps is NOT the cards I will ask PSA about. I was just asking about original vs reprint
I believe PSA does grade the reprint for the set I am asking about but there is a another "curve" to this story.
Someone took an ungraded reprint 1948 HOF Exhibit card and somehow "attached" a postcard back with hand writing and a 1948 postmark. I missed the telltale sign that it is a reprint (my bad!!) , won the card it went through Ebay authentication while I was away from home for two months.
When I returned I see the card is a reprint, and contact ebay. Too late for ebay to reconsider I am told( 30 days I think) . I show them proof it is a reprint they say now if I put it through PSA and they say it is a reprint they will "revisit" with no promise to make me whole.
I asked doesn't PSA do your authentication? Was told yes. So I asked if it comes back as a reprint then who do you believe? The first PSA authentication or the second?
Here is the item:
