Default not really the issue, I don't think

I don't think copyright or trademark infringement is the issue here. Even if it is (I am obviously not a lawyer so don't know for sure one way or the other) my concern, and where it relates to this board, is the opportunity for someone to be defrauded. Reprints have a place in the hobby if they are being sold with complete transparency and honesty. Erasing the word "reprint" and also artificially aging, crosses those boundaries, to me. Maybe not in the eye of the law, but to me, they do cross them. And the reason I moved this to the front page, again, is because I would rather this stuff be in the open than pushed under the covers. Quite a few new collectors read the board and it's a good intro into these shenanigans.
