HowieThe companies are to blame for making their reprint sets so easily confused or modified to resemble the originals. Okay so one company made their Turkey Reds 2.5 x 3.5 and people are still getting ripped off so maybe there's nothing they can do except put them on shorts and mugs. Ebay is to blame for allowing reprints to be listed in the vintage card categories, and for allowing careful wording of the scam auctions to conform to their rules yet still give the buyer hope. Scammers are to blame for listing all that crap. And buyers are to blame for being greedy, stupid, or careless.
Ebay has made it so easy for scammers to pump this crap into the market. I'd like to run auctions on Ebay for reprint cards and tell the suckers not to send me any money. Will Ebay allow me to call them suckers? I'll give instructions on how to print out the pictures in my auctions so they can make their own reprint cards. Would my fake reprints cut into the sales of the real reprints? Will Ebay stock go down?
