jPJoe D. i agree with you 100 % , reprints do have a place in the hobby atleast with me they do.
but i think in terms of my son who is only 5 and is very much into what i do when collecting.
"Will a collector care about getting the 1988 version or the 2006 version?"
i think my son may care, the 1988 reprints when he is in his 30's will already be around 50 years old. i would love to have many cards that are that old today.
But here is another thought that sticks in my mind, if a grading company grades a reprint and that reprint has a date of the year it was mfg. does that than make that card authentic for that specific year? if so i think my son will appreciate a 50 year old reprint of Cobb and Mathewson etc.
