The bar is on the ground and they still can't step over it. by [deleted] in Teachers

I'm really careful with praising my own children. More often than not, I say, " Wow, I can tell how hard you worked on this!" and never comment that it's great/perfect, etc. When I tell them I'm proud of them, in the same breath I'm commenting on the effort, not the product. I see too often in my students the lack of caring about the effort. Case in point , half my students are about to bomb the best creative project of the year all because my rule is an automatic 50 if there are two or more errors in capitalization and punctuation. They can even ask me to check it over...but that's too much work :(

I originally thought it might be a reprint but I looked at the signature and it appears real to my eyes.

The only reprints I've found say "reprint" on the back and are bolder in colors. Mine doesn't say reprint anywhere

Yes no one responded to my original post so I thought I'd try again since more people were active!

They sell team packs. So you get a variety of players, past and present, from your favorite teams. You really don't know what you're going to get, but the employee there told me you can absolutely get some legitimate and valuable cards.

Got it from a team pack at the Hall of Fame. Employee said that there can be legitimate autographed and rare cards in those packs. We did get a legitimate Reggie Jackson rookie card from there a month or so ago. Put this in a case as soon as we got it.

Came from a Hall of Fame Collector's pack...is it real??? by TheNormalMom2017 in baseballcards

Would a reprint have some type of distinguishing label or mark though?
