I think they're great. I agree that they expand the vintage market to a certain degree. They are clearly marked as well. I have picked up a couple of the L1 like leathers that they have made. Just looking at them on the internet, you don't really get the full effect of the craftsmanship of them. They are well made items.............

This is the one I purchased. I like them to a point, I wanted something a little different and looks vintage. Some I'm not impressed. I have no plans to collect more than a 3-4 tops, maybe a wagner, matty young etc...but as a modern card I won't pay very much, I think I paid $40 for this one, adds a little to my collection.
Pre-WWII does deceive a little and when the dealer throws in the past "sold" price, it bothered me a tiny bit. But I got my card. I do think they should list it in a modern era. Last edited by lug-nut; 11-04-2013 at 11:30 PM.

Helmar, sporting life etc
I'm kind of surprised at how well these cards are received. I would much rather have a 1975 Topps Jose Cruz in PSA 2 MC or a Paul Pierce 2nd year refractor in SGC 82. I'd rather that ebay list them with other modern cards.

I thought these things were going to be trashed on the board, but am pleasantly surprised at how many folks like them.
I voted that I like them. I think a lot of them look really nice and would be a great compliment to a prewar collection, especially displayed on a shelf alongside authentic prewar cards. The prices keep me from buying any of them. Like others have said, I would rather spend the money on an actual vintage card. If I could pick up a nice Matty or Cobb Boston Garter Helmar for $10.00 I might do it, but the bigger stars always seem to go much higher.

Strictly looking at the card as artwork, these have appeal to me. I have attempted to pick up the Matty version, but the three sold have sold for significantly more than I would be willing to pay for them ($205, $255, $350). While I would never collect many of these art cards, select ones do appeal to me.

I love the look of the Helmar cards, but i consider them modern cards and would never pay the price for what they are going for. If they were $9.99 i would collect the Yankees in Helmar, but not at the insane prices people are bidding them up to.

I agree with some of the sentiments already stated:
I think they are very cool I would never buy them due to the crazy prices I have less of an issue with them being in the pre War category than topps/modern mass produced issues/pokemon crap
