How to know if an unsigned card is a reprint?

[Case12]

To your point though, I can buy it. Check it with my own original types from my own collection, and request a refund if it seems out of whack. Sounds like a good plan....

Or you can shop from highly respectable companies and eBay sellers. There are also many on this board. But yes, if the card is a reprint, you can send it back within the window.
Personally, I buy a bunch from www.comc.com and it saves on shipping since you can leave your cards in your warehouse and send them all to you at once.

Buy from reputable sellers and handle a lot of cards. As others said, you will get to know them. However, there are tons of great fakes so always be careful and know your trading partner (where possible). Buy from any of our advertisers and all should be good.

Agree. Find good sellers. With a good, reliable seller you can buy with confidence something outside your realm of experience.

Very old thread I started.

My question is now the opposite - where (or how) can I get a reprint card?

Scenario - Player has agreed to sign my 62 rookie card ttm. I sorta don't want to loose the original card in the mail. I don't mind him signing a reprint. It's my private collection. I'd like it to be fairly realism - front and back cardboard though - mark reprint anywhere on the back. The guy is not HOF so I can't readily find it.

I searched to find an answer. I am sure others have the same desired dilemma.

Help??? Casey

Who is the player? I know Dover reprinted some 1962 Topps stars in 1978. Topps also reprinted stars in the 90's.

If it's someone like Bob Veale, you could probably find an original for under $10 on eBay, if you look at auctions that start at .99.

The 62 rookie parade cards sell for a lot more than one would expect. The last creased up low grade Veale sold for $28 and it’s one of the cheaper ones

I don’t think I’ve come across a RP reprint, come to think of it.

I'll defer to Greg on 62 Topps, but I still recommend just buying an original card.

This is curious. I've see Uecker rookies from time to time listed as "reprints " but I thought the sellers didnt know better. Are the stamped reprint anywhere? How can you tell?

Thanks in advance

Ted, Billy is correct that I'm getting over my skis in this thread. This is not really my area of expertise. Here is a Banks reprint. I have not seen Uecker reprinted.
