Smell Test

Auction text:

"1913 The National Game Ty Cobb. I would grade the card in good plus condition,the card looks like it came out of a deck that got alot of play out of it. The image is still quite strong and has no creases.Obviously a lesser condition card that can be obtained at a reasonable price.Good Luck. I've been notified by a knowledgeble collector that he believed this card was a reprint as some unscrupulous characters are taking reprints and trying to make them appear original. I can see that it's obviously not difficult to fool a novice. I bought this card over 20 years ago,before they were making reprints of this set and even though this card may appear to be one of those altered reprints,as any knowledgable collector learns very early is there is one foolproof way to authenticate validity and that is the smell test.You can't duplicate the musty odor of a one hundred year old card and this definetely passes the smell test. It's real. "

In addition to this guy another one has a bunch of disguised reprints for sale:

More 1913 NG Reprints

Its amazing how they are all damaged in the exact spot the word "REPRINT" should be.

Oh well.

Have a great weekend.

Everything seems to be selling well with multiple bidders. Too bad they'll have to find another naive person to sell to when they find out the true value of the card.

If anyone wants to get a better deal on reprints of this set you can find the entire set here for 10 bucks:
