Matt,
Hello! Certainly I wouldn’t ask that such a rule be enforced if a seller was selling a bad card and passing it off as authentic.
But that’s not the case here. He’s description clearly tells the buyer what they are getting (even if it is garbage).
I certainly understand the point that other posters have made as to how some unsuspecting buyer could get burned by one of these “reprints” somewhere in the future. However, I have always believed (and lived my life) with the “buyer beware” mentality. I have never bought a watch from somebody selling them from their trench coat. I have never bought electronics from the trunk of someone’s car. I have never bought a designer purse for $25 from someone peddling them on a street corner. Etc, etc. etc. I think you get my point.
Again, I understand the concerns of others, but it is ultimately the responsibility of the buyer to know what they are buying. If someone buys one of his ’33 Goudey Ruth’s on eBay for $150 somewhere down the road, what does that tell you about the buyer? It tells me that their own GREED was the motivational factor in their buying decision, thinking they were buying something for a fraction of the normal price. In other words, it if sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Regards,
David
