I'm not talking about a slightly different font or 'reprint' that can be erasured off-- but different colored border, significantly different size or such. Reprinting the Mona Lisa in the form of an umbrella or lip gloss case should cause no worry. But there's no good reason for making reprints baseball that closely resemble the originals-- with that I agree.
As far as acceptable reprints go, I would think a standard sized postcard set of famous baseball cards (historical description on back) would be neat. A person could buy the set, send them out as postcards and no one (but the truly ignorant) would make them for the originals.
And what undergrad college student collector wouldn't want the famous baseball cards shot glass set.
