Reprint guys

It's always "I'm selling these as reprints because the guy who got them from someone else who bought them in an estate sale who was told that at least some of them are reprints so I'm selling these as reprints but have no information beyond that ..." bla bla bla. Same schtick, different day. Others show other game playing motifs. This was doesn't say reprint in the title, the "Original" box is checked, and then the description says reprints. Innocent mistake or just games? Is this a fair disclosure, or trying to keep door open they are somehow real to an uninformed person?

Those are not reprints. Those are altered reprints or counterfeits being sold by scumbags trying to deceive someone.

I collect reprints. I can't afford some real sets/cards so I buy reprints.

I do understand what you are saying but some of us collect reprints and are glad they are produced.
