The listing, 1909 - 1911 t206 FRED MERKLE tobacco card reproduction reprint fake has ended.
I found this in a mountain of cards I got in a trade. I've seen the reprints and this didn't look like them, so I took it in to my local collector shop. They checked it out and told me that it's considered a reprint/reproduction but not really. What it really is, is a fake. This was not made by any card production company, it was made by some jerk trying to make some money off unsuspecting collectors.
The only good news I got on this card was that there is a small group of collectors out there that want these things. According to the collector shop guys, it's still worth about $10.
I don't want to sell this for money, so I'll give it away for credits on LISTIA.
This is for a FAKE 2009-2011 T-206 tobacco card of FRED MERKLE
This card was made to look worn and aged. The signs of how it's not real:
Glossy front of the card
Black fresh printing on back over white back of the card
Can be seen through, like a film cell, with cell phone glow in a dark room (dead giveaway for any fake card).
This will be sent in a top loader in a white envelope.
