Actually, you may have done the hobby a service by bringing it up. I wasn't able to open the link to the Mays fake that you provided, but i can imagine it is much like the Mantle reprint - looks very genuine in the scans, but more than likely has obvious flaws and counterfeiting tells when examined up close. That's why it is unscrupulous at best for the guy to be selling these as "reprints," since they could then be offered as genuine to a naive buyer who might shell out a few hundred bucks for one of these fakes.
Just saw that the Mantle "reprints" listing has been taken down, maybe by eBay, or maybe the seller. At the same time, noticed another seller offering what appeared to be one of the same reprints for $4.50 each. At least that seller was plainly describing it as a reprint and asking a reasonable amount. Others could appear in the future offered as genuine cards.
