Default Grading reprints

Posted By: runscott

That sounds neat. Other good ideas are t-shirts, posters and mousepads, all available on ebay for various card issues. But I'm working on a reprint set.

At Rich's suggestion I am rubber-stamping the back of each card (just bought the stamp and it worked great), and also experimenting with adding an "R" to the front that clearly i.d.'s each card as a reprint without detracting from the image - I'm not sure this is possible to do without ruining the card, but I'm trying.

I realized before posting that some of the board members have a problem with any reprint set that looks good enough to be worth purchasing, regardless of the set that is being reprinted, but I took a chance regardless. I appreciate all suggestions, but I'm really looking for ideas from people who think that reprint sets have their place in the hobby, but who want consumers protected from themselves as much as reasonably possible.

BTW, Jay, why does anyone buy ANY card? After all, you can just go look at the images on the loc site.
