So I was looking on Ebay and the seller listed the Jordan as a reprint. It honestly doesn't look like a reprint. Is there anyway to tell. Thank you

Reprint is the ebay word for Forgery. The feel a little better about the crime if they dont confess to it up front. We dont list forgeries here. ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Someone mentioned this the other day, but I think it bears repeating. A true reprint put out by a card manufacturer will say "Reprint" on it somewhere. If it doesn't, it is a fake knock-off.

That being said, while I agree with David that most shady eBay sellers who try and pull one over on people would use "reprint" instead of "fake" or "forgery", some sellers may be using the term "reprint" to mean that it isn't authentic, and to make sure people know what they're bidding on.

Are they technically correct? No, they aren't. But at least they're putting it out there that it isn't authentic. (It's almost the weekend, I'm trying to be positive for the next two days!).

-------------------------------

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.

This is part of the description:

TEN rare MJ Red back Italian sticker inserts with Nike Air Jordans! Ten Reprint/ACEO. Hoops, Fleer, Upper Deck, and more!

I highlighted "ACEO" because that is also a term (company?) used on these reprints, fakes, etc.

I was looking for a Gale Sayers RC when I ran into this affordable one that I was curious why the price was so low, and the seller responded to an email telling me "These are not originals but very accurate re-issues...".

I don't know what ACEO stands for exactly, but I see it a lot on sketch cards in non-sports circles. Some of those cards in that listing are genuine and not common.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.
