Lots of people seem to want fake cards these days?

He said something to the affect of, “I’m a collector, not an investor. Investors look for value, I collect images.” It was interesting to think about the psychology of the difference. I wish to God I was content with reprints....I would probably be writing this from my yacht if I was.

It is awesome, like beyond words awesome. I have several reprint sets that I honestly like as much as most real cards I have ever owned.

I recently picked up a T206 reprint set. I have started the set and sold off the real cards 3 times because I just got burned out on it. Now I have them all and I really like owning them.
