Did you notice in his description of the Wagner he has Mantle as the player. Look for a fake Mantle next.

some of the reprints are getting pretty good to the point where the only way you can tell its a reprint (when looking at it online) is that the font at the bottom front of the card is a little off. If these people can get the rest of the card so exact, why aren't they scanning the font so that it too is exact?

Hopefully one can tell when holding the card that it is a reprint, such as the paper feels different or a black light makes it fluoresce. Otherwise it'll be difficult for the average collector to tell the difference.

Rob, I agree, it's getting a little scary how good these reprints are becoming. Knowledge is the key though, knowing which backs don't appear with certain cards is something the forgers haven't zeroed in on yet.
That Wagner Old Put fake shows how easy it is to come up with an Old Put looking back stamp. Jeez, what's next, fake overprinted E94s?

Tbob- I own a fake E94 overprint. It was mistakenly encapsulated by SGC. Upon review they bought it from the owner, or compensated the owner, and then I ended up buying it with full disclosure. It's not a very good reprint but I will leave it at that. As someone mentioned earlier it's best to keep some things off of the board, or at least not make every nuance too known....
I am very aware that certain scammers read this board almost every day. regards

This card in the scan is not a reprint, it is a scan of a real E98 Wagner OLD PUT, which you will not receive. You will get a "copy" of it. There is a difference between copy and reprint. None of these cards being sold are reprinted they are just stolen online images used to sell copies on ebay.

Hi Leon,
If this is the one that was on the BST, I seem to recall that the fake one was encapsulated by SGC but used a different font than the real one.

Is there any way you can show scans of both the real overprint and the fake one?
Thank you,
Wes
