This may be a stupid question, but is this a reprint?

This guy calls me out of nowhere and says he has a card of Honus Wagner. Of course, I told him there is no way it's real, but I will look at it.

    nope. i have two of them in my collection, they are a fairly vintage "reprint/fake". colors are all too light and the back is ALWAYS o/c r/l. however if he's interested in selling it as a cheap reprint, i'd love another one, let me know.

    The dark line around the picture is too faint, and the typeface of the name/team is off.

    Easiest way to tell, though, is to look at the dot pattern under a magnifying glass, as compared to an authentic T206. The fakes are obvious to spot this way.

    All the letters on WAGNER, PITTSBURG are the same size. No good. Selling it as a reprint on Ebay seems to be a fairly lucrative thing to do.

    If you sell it on ebay as a reprint it will likely end up in the wrong hands and someone will end up writting a suicide note explaining that they couldn't go on after they got shafted on a $1,000,000 baseball card.

    If I bid on my virginity, does that make me a prostitute?

    I always wondered who took it; all I remember is waking up and finding it gone, along with my Magna Carta!!!
    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

    I've actually been looking for a decent copy of a Hammurabi in PSA 3 or better. Is this the "scimitar on shoulder", "scimitar off shoulder", "holding severed goat head", or "Portrait with concubines" variety?

    Does it matter that I lost it when I was by myself?

    The response to my auction has been so overwhelmingly positive that I am offering each and every one of you an autograph of God which has been PSA/DNA authenticated and is suitable for framing.

    Mud good one! Get back to me about your free 1000 post count check up discount.
    Nick - I was hoping no one else had the location! Keep it low profile till after my auction.
    BTW, we have all of those virginities on file with the PSA registry!
