MWSave yourself THOUSANDS of dollars.

I'm almost tempted to write some cynical reviews for some of these books of reprinted vintage baseball cards. Something like, "I bought this book, cut the perforations off several of the cards, added some creases, dunked them in coffee, and then sold them for several hundred dollars each on eBay. And to think I only paid $4.95 plus shipping."
Or better yet, perhaps I can prominently feature a special eBay auction where I offer do-it-yourself fake vintage baseball card kits to eBay scammers along with a link to the Barnes & Noble site. Maybe that would help some of the bidders on these auctions to realize just what they're buying.

For those who can't see it, a 1955 Jackie Robinson is pictured on the cover. I recall picking up one of these reprint books in a collection last year and the Jackie Robinson, for whatever reason, is printed quite dark. Check out the contrast on the same card from the seller on eBay. You know, it's only a matter of time before this seller "graduates" to the Topps paper cards in the reprinted 1954 SI #1 issues.
