Type II meaning reprinted from the originals?

Type II meaning reprinted from the originals?

Type II's or Type II Counterfeit - this term refers to the 100 cards printed on the same sheet of Star Co. cards from the original Star Co. plates that were likely scraps/rejects that were printed off-line (off-register) and meant to be destroyed and stolen by two print shop employees. These 100 cards are 1985-86 #95-172 (including White and Green Celtics), 10 card 1986 Jordan subset, and 4 card 1986 Best New subset. The reason that the Type II's are considered counterfeit is because they were not distributed to any original Star Co. dealer, were not authorized for release by the Star Co. owner, and can be distinguished from the original cards that were distributed to Star Co. dealers and authorized for release by the Star Co. It was the submission of these cards for grading to PSA that lead it to stop grading Star Co. basketball cards.
