Lets be clear (and this is a pet peeve of mine) there are indeed legit reprints of 1959 Topps, made by Topps (since they obviously have the rights to reprint their own cards) but there lots of counterfeits around to. People use the words interchangeably when they are two different things. Reprints are a legal product produced by someone who owns or acquires the rights to do so. Companies like CCC and TCMA among others have done legit reprints as has Topps with their archives products among others. Counterfeits are done by people with no rights to produce them and is stealing someone else's intellectual property and with an intent to defraud.

I have seen counterfeit 1959 Topps (Hank Aaron sticks out in my memory) and the color on the reverse was just too intense and the stock was wrong.
