larry bird/magic rc reprint - dboutte - 01-18-2012
Could someone tell me how to identify a reprint of the 1980 Bird/Erving/Magic Rc?
I've had what I think is an original for years, but keep seeing reprints on ebay that look to me like the original, so now I'm a little uncertain.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
That card supposedly has a reprint stamp hidden on the back, but I can't find it in the image. Can you spot it?

I think its on the bottom on the larry bird portion, between "Pro totals" and "82"

I can't find it too. I guess/think libs021 is right.

It says REPLICA on the computer screen on the back of the card. THAT IS SNEAKY!

You beat me to it. I actually sent a message to this guy on ebay several weeks ago asking how to identify it as a reprint, and he just responded this morning. It is sneaky, I scanned the back of that card several times and couldn't find it.

The Lew Alcindor/Kareem Abdul-Jabbar reprint card does have a noticeable RP mark on the jersey in the cartoon on the back. I hope he just do this on all of his reprints.

Even thought these cards say "reprint" I still have to believe this is copy right infringement, and if it's not, it's really lame nonetheless.

These reprints are usually illegal (though past a certain date they are allowed but still unethical).
For key Rookie cards just buy graded.
