I agree with John in post 13-- to each his own. Not everybody that buys a reprint set does so with nefarious intentions. I personally have T205 and T206 reprint sets purchased for about 80 bucks total that will be framed and displayed in a home theater room-- I view the sets as history and art, much like a Monet. Would love complete sets but not willing to drop $10-20K for them-- at this point, kids college, old muscle cars, and wife's wardrobe take priority
While some folks will undoubtedly try to pass these off as real I think the greater benefit will be introducing new folks to a fascinating slice of the hobby--my reprint sets led me to net54 and the great community that exists on this board.
