I think they're nice looking items and as long as no one purchasing them thinks they are rare or old or an investment, there is no harm. To me, they occupy the same niche as the 1950-56 Callahan, 1960-61 Fleer, 1961 Golden Press, and 1974 Laughlin Old Time Black Stars cards. That said, I cannot see buying one since there are so many actual vintage cards I want to buy given the prices of the ones I would be interested in owning. For example I saw a Clemente went for over $100--I could buy a genuine vintage Clemente in similar condition for less than that. I might consider a purchase of one of a living player if I was interested in getting it signed. I also like the Negro Leaguers issued as vintage cards of those players are basically so rare and so pricey that it is not realistic for most collectors to collect anything except a tribute type card anyway.
