The cost of vintage cards in high grade makes them unaffordable for many collectors, so reprints are a cheaper alternative
Reprints have been around since the 70's when Charlie Brooks issued some 33 Goudey reprints
But reprints never increased in value yrs ago
Go on ebay today & see what collectors are paying for reprints
Totally amazing to me the prices this krap is bringing

police17852 is a seller of reprints out of Puerto Rico, a real hotbed of collecting

He is offering a handful of higher dollar reprints every week on ebay
seems like pretty decent quality, enough to fool a novice

He is making good $$$ selling reprints, even though he advertises the fact they are reprints, check & see what he cards bring

The profits per card are enormous & you know some buyers will resell them as authentic

All reprints need to have the word REPRINT printed on cards to help prevent future fraud

I believe that is true in coins that rule is currently in effect

that would help dramatically the resale of reprints

I'm not against reprints, just I don't want to sell collectors get ripped off paying $50 & up for a 50¢ card
