I have seen more than a couple that I found quite well done. If I stumbled on one in a lot purchase or some such, it wouldn't hurt my feelings. However, I agree 100% that they shouldn't be listed in the Pre-War listings on eBay. I don't filter them out but sometimes they are a pain in the butt.

I like them, but don't like the price.

I sure do like them after seeing a lot of them this evening, on the bay. I don't think I like them enough to pay the amount they go for but.... they sure are purty...(sic) Maybe they will mass produce some in the future and the prices will come down a little.

I think these things are great, love looking at them, just won't pay the price. I tried to get the Pirates version of the "die-cut" as they're referred to. It's basically six t206 photos on a nice background. I think I gave up around $25 though, my highest price I'd pay for that one.
I have a feeling the Jim Thorpe Boston Garter just listed will fetch a small fortune. I also have no problem with them being in vintage because they are interesting items.

I voted that I like them. I don't own any and haven't bid on any only because I feel that owning one or a few modern remakes is not worth it to me. Same reason that I would not buy a T206 reprint card. I would however purchase a complete set of T206 reprints or a Helmar set if one was ever made. I know that the single cards are limited but hopefully when no more new ones are produced, that a special limited edition set of all cards would be made with a slight difference on the back such as a serial number to tell the limited first prints from the limits sets. I would then purchase a set.

While some are very cool, i also see them as simply art. I do not think they should be listed (catagorized) the way they are. They have however created a nice little niche for themselves.
