2014 Dean's Reprints Brown Backgrounds (T207) reprint Baseball Forum

Does anyone know the actual year these reprints were produced?

Looks like 2014 based on Dean's blog: http://blog.deanscards.com/2014/05/t207-repint-complete-set.html

Nice find. I have submitted an IR to have the set year changed and possibly renamed to include Dean's Cards.

Much better than leaving it under 1912.

This is a bit of a can of worms, as now I'm seeing plenty of reprint sets that have the year as the original year. I'll try to work through some of those.

That is how we've handled the ones we don't know. Besides, there might be a better way with these - I mean, I never would expect to look under 2014 to find a reprinted set of 1912 cards. It might be better if we list them in the year of the original set with the actual release year of the reprint in the set name or something like that.

For instance, I know there was a reprint of the 1951 Bowman set. No idea when it was made. Could have been 1985, maybe 1990. Maybe in between there, maybe not. No clue. No clue where to begin looking.

I've opened a lot of those cans myself.  Just keep bumping a thread on them as you find them and I'm sure we'll get them all sorted out.

Yeah, that's tough when there's no obvious year of production on the card. And you're right, browsing for the sets would be tough if you don't know the year. But the search function does a good job of finding the set, if like for your example you enter 1951 Bowman reprint.
