Uh oh...now I have to be concerned about fake wrappers too?

Have you all seen this ebay seller's wrapper reprints?

https://www.ebay.com/sch/kanicol76/m...p2047675.l2562

First off, his listings are very clearly labeled in the title that these are REPRINT wrappers. I don't think there is anything wrong with him making/selling these as he is not trying to deceive.

However, I AM concerned about people with bad intentions buying them and then trying to pass them off as real. I took a real close look at the two wrappers I am most familiar with (1935 Goudey and 1952 Bowman) and I can't see anything that tips me off that these aren't real. Maybe they FEEL different in hand, but visually they are spot on.

Thoughts?

Ugh. Here come graded wrappers.

Some of them are close.

Most of the modern ones look too solid from the back.

And the 34 Goudey is really obvious that the overall color is printed on.

Problem is that they should have "Reprint" clearly labeled on them somewhere.

+100 !!!

I wanted to add some '52 Topps to my collection and won some Phillies recently and the collection included a wrapper. I thought that was cool, some kid actually opened that decades ago - or maybe not

I was watching that auction specifically for the wrappers!
