Question about these 68's

I copied this picture from a guy selling 1 million baseball cards on ebay. This is one of the pictures he is using. I am not that familiar with 68 Topps, but I do know that Bench was not that old in 68.

If you have not seen the auction in question here is a link, but there are a ton of pictures and may take a little bit to open:

Large Collection on ebay

Are the 75's real? Just curious I have no plans to bid:

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    reprints or some more modern day type issue. maybe the 83's are real?

    If it goes cheap - and the buyer does a lot of patient work - it is
    prolly a pretty good bunch.

    Some of the cards are "commemorative issues;" reprints.

    Interesting, but it needs to be cheap. Buying inventory is one thing,
    buying a job is another thing.

    As I sit at home with my 80 monster boxes, uncut Drakes panels and mountain of junk wax, it occurred to me that this might be the greatest quote ever on these boards.

    what an unbelievable load of crap. scrolling thru this mess reminds me how much i loathe modern........ can't even burn them, as today's plastic cards would probably deplete the ozone layer

    I knew most of those looked bogus, but I wasn't sure about the 75's. If they are real it looks like a nice clean stack.

    The cards in the picture are from Topps Rookie of the week promotion I think from a year or two ago.

    classic modern fantasy garbage

    Bench looks 38 yrs old and that stach on Schmidt was far from '73 issue

    Just looking at that makes me want to trash everything I have newer than 1988.

    Every single card in the photo is a modern reprint.

    Looks like it would be fun to go through, if nothing else.
