You'll have to forgive my ignorance on the topic if, in fact, the cards that are being used to dupe buyers are counterfeits and weren't released by Topps as some sort of special reprinted set. I just always assumed that they were just a reissue by Topps to make money.

Hi Ryan, Topps has reprinted several issues including the 1952-1954 Topps sets. Those were 2.5x3.5" unlike the oversize originals. They've also reprinted many popular players like Mantle, Clemente, Rose and others, but they are all dated the year of issue, and they are often glossy or shiny and can't be confused with the originals.

The big problem on Ebay is counterfeits.

Are these counterfeits made from scratch?

I've heard plenty about the '52 Mantle, but if they are being counterfeited then why do they continually have the same known type of errors?
