Counterfeit Update: What thickness of paper are sportscards printed on?

Allen

I am curious. I have noticed all the reprints on ebay lately and it got me concerned. I orded 2 of them to educate myslelf on what the reprints look like and to be sure I can spot them since I am sure they will soon flood the shows and trading circles. Well I got them today and I am no longer concerned lol. They look reasonable in the case, you can see the dots a little, with a 10x loop it is very obvious. When i poped it out of the "Tamper Proof Rivited screwdown" I noticed it was very thin paper. Maybe 110# at best. I am not sure what regular cards use as far as paper. Can they not get access to the same type of paper or are they just cheap?

After my experiment I can confirm that I don't think anyone on this forum would fall for these. They are pretty much just inkjet prints on walmart paper. The card world is safe for another day lol.
