Since it is your first post we can let it be an introduction on the main page. I guess this would have gone in the regular pre-1980 baseball section as opposed to the BST where it was. No harm no foul. Welcome and good luck in the hunt..

There are some reprint of individual cards, both legit reprints and reproductions... but it is only of certain players. I doubt the entire set would have been reprinted.

There were some cards apparently reprinted on the 50th anniversary of the set, with an insignia in the lower right hand corner saying "50th Anniversary". But there are some that again, that don't say anything. I ordered a Roger Maris reprint that I'm still expecting in the mail, to see if I can compare some of the cards I have questions about to it. |

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.

This is my first thread here, and I thought I could just copy and paste a photo, but it doesn't seem like I can do that. I'd like to take some photos of some of the cards I have concerns about. I'm thinking I have to click one of the icons above where I'm writing. I have a couple of cards with these faded grey backs. And then there are some that don't feel as sturdy as some others I have. I wonder if there was some variation in the card stock for the '59s. Last edited by jgannon; 12-23-2019 at 08:12 PM. |

If you have a bunch of real 1959 (or any year) Topps, reprints will stand out in comparison. Check thickness, gloss, opacity (see through effect when held to light). Reprints will be obviously different, and often identified as reprints at first glance

Btw, what kind of a light would you use? I read maybe a black light? Once I figure out how to post some pics, I'll post some pics of these grey backs. |
