Artificially Aged Reprints Terrorize Arizona

[rarerookies]

All right all right. You guys are a bunch of butthead's but you have convinced me. It's not worth making $5.00 to see stories like that. Even knowing the absurdity of seeing a mint Mantle rookie a Wagner a Robinson and an Aaron rookie a 12 year old bought that has people believing that he hit the jackpot. I do quote Ron White by saying you can't fix stupid but I no longer want to contribute to it.

I can offer some in site to those cards though. First things first. I don't sell on ebay. Everytime i listed reprints on ebay they shut me down even though I brought up the fact that 100 other people were selling reprints and the reprints I was selling on ebay I bought from people on ebay.

The Wagner wasn't mine. Personally I think mine looks better than that one but that wasn't me. The Aaron and the Robinson were reprints. How I know is that I have reprints with the same characteristics that those cards had. The front of the Robinson is faded in the same spots as the ones that I buy. The Aaron card has the same faded line that starts at the bill of his cap and goes through his forehead. I have the same reprints. These are all the same reprints that you can purchase on sites as I did. They all have the same characteristics in printing. The Mantle I couldn't tell but if its real he's the luckiest kid in America.

The PSA looking flips I've scene before on another auction site. All they are is Pro-tech slabs with a printed sticker over them. I have a few of the slabs I keep some cards I am waiting to send off to be graded in. Its a good product to keep your cards protected but someone took it too far. As someone pointed out on my post i did try my own to sell but quickly stopped selling them because that was just a little too much.

I am glad I saw this story. Personally I still don't see anything wrong with selling reprints but after seeing that story I have changed my mind about contributing to the unscrupulous people that took advantage of the kid. It's like the arms dealer selling the guns to another country. Its just business until he see's in person the harm that it's doing as a result of his actions.

So ok. You guys are semi right on that issue. I will give you that. And any reprint I sell from now on will be marked on the card reprint. My gosh I can't believe those cards duped all those people. Maybe they should stick to those beenie babies. Keep us posted on what happens.

BTW: as far as the reprints I sold goes. I wasn't selling 100's a week. I was just selling enough to pay for internet and netflix but after seeing that I'll just pick up a few extra hours at work.
