Card Identification Forum

Hi- I just started adding more cards from my collection. I ran into apparently a 1952 Bowman Mickey Mantle reprint....looks exactly like the original [I wish], but does not match anything exactly in the database. iffie added some scans that i can't follow at all. My scan won't help you because it is just like original...on back, right below ...-medium or large is"1952 Bowman Gum Division........" wheras the 1 iffie scanned ends with REPRINT. ????

If anybody has a little time, please trying follow the search...Can you find my card? and/or is iffie's info iffy. lol.

Thanks, ~BOB~

I also have 1957, 1958 and 1966 identical cards to originals...can't find them either???

Please....Any help? These cards DO NOT have any other visible markings. If they weren't so perfect, you would think you had the originals. Somebody had to make these, but Who? ~BOB~

Bob,

Many of the reprint cards are from Dover Publications.  Do yours show any perforated edges?  The 1982 Dover sets I am working on has the 1952 Bowman and the 1957 Topps. But they both indicate themselves as reprints, just it is not evident.  The 1952 one, the "Dover Reprint" is at the end of the short career write-up above the Card # line.

This may also be the same as yours.

Thanks for the tip, I needed. They are from a 1996, 1997 Mantle Commerative Set [36 cards]. I also found them in the database, had to try a few different searches. ~BOB~
