Tim NewcombGood grief, Julie, no one is arguing that owning these reprints is a "crime." Most of us have a few reprints kicking around, surely. The complaints are that dishonest people will try to pass them off as genuine, and that they are so close to the originals that they can even deceive hobby veterans, much less the gulls who buy stuff on ebay without a strong knowledge of what they're buying. Many of us have problems with that.
I wrote to Mike Wheat last night letting him know about these threads. I thought he should have the chance to respond/explain if he wanted to.
