Unless GM just chose to flip the scans. I'm far from an expert on Cracker Jacks, but yeah - that black print does look awfully bold.

Going by the crease marks, the backs don't appear to be upside-down.

Ah, right you are. Yeah that's a bad call by GM.

A month or two ago there was a person selling a handful of t206s on another forum. Something about the cards just seemed a little off to me. The seller had stellar feedback on the forum and proof the cards came awhile back from Greg Morris so talking with a MOD, he was comfortable letting the sales post continue. Honestly, it could just have been the seller's camera playing tricks, but I have never seen authentic t206's without the proper shading pattern.
I kept an image for future reference. 1st is my image is my card, second is one the seller had and was offering.

Both cards have been taken down.

I am still awaiting for Mr. Toe Moss to show if his allegedly genuine Merkle CJ received an authentic grade from SGC. If so, I owe him $100, and I always pay my debts.

And I’m still waiting on SGC to finish the submission Yoda aka John Spencer. Hope you keep your greenbacks close to you.

There is a complete set of reprinted cracker Jacks. Renato Glasso made the set

I had a set because I like the writing on the backs and knew that I could never own all of them.

Ebay has some for sale.

There were also the Dover reprint cards which fooled a lot of newbie CJ collectors.

hi quality job on that back though, it looks better than the front. Kinda scary.

I agree. The back looks pretty good. The front is more obvious w/the wrong colors, and wrong font at bottom.
