Real or Reprints?

I have been looking at this sellers T206 and too many red flags come up for me: the type set, the squareness of the cards, all appears to have Piedmont back and the Hurricane story. If the Hurricane damaged these cards they sure must have been nice prior to it.

Opinions are asked if you think they are real or reprint.

lee there has been a couple threads on the other board about the same seller. some of the type font looks all bold/black but the katrina story is legit and so are the cards most likely. she's always come to defend herself and a few of the members have bought from her.

She offers a 45 day return policy and guarantees their authenticity.

I think they are real. Backs look legit. The only thing that looks a little questionable is the print on the front. Very dark and bold.

either the scanner or camera is bad or the lithography on the cards is all wrong. They just don't look right. If they are legit, I'd need to hold them in hand. And return policies don't mean much from a seller that doesn't deal in cards or has a full time business.

I based my vote on one card only.
The T206 Anderson, Providence has a very off-center back.
Therefore all cards shown are real.

They're real, and I've purchased a few.

They were found in a scrapbook that was wet (in Louisiana or Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina) and that is the reason many of the cards have major paperloss on the front and even pieces missing.
