Thanks for posting Bill, I hadn't seen the previous thread.
I don't like these. Like you, I don't think I have a real problem with the seller/maker of them. If there's a market and they can sell these, more power to them (I guess). I just don't like that they exist at all, whether they say reprint on the back or not. Some people may want these as display pieces, but I'm sure there are as many, or more licking their chops at the prospect of rebacking these with real Sweet Cap/Piedmont/PB/EPDG/etc backs and then slipping them it into cracked SGC or PSA cases.
It's great PSA is re-designing their holders.. but I view that with the same opinion I've had about the countermeasures (watermarks/etc) for counterfeit money... why fake the new money (or crack the new PSA holder) when you can just print off a bunch of the old bills (or swap cards into old cases).
