Default 1907 Dietsche Postcards

Posted By: John S

I purchased a package of the reprints on eBay for $10 to make a display. The card stock and finish are markedly different from the originals. However, it would be much more difficult to discriminate a reprint from an original in a scan or photo. The reprint mark on the reverse is very small and would be easy to conceal. I have always guarded against the fakes on eBay by purchasing only postcards that were postally used or from sellers that I know. I do have an unused example but it was purchased at a show.
