The premise that these cards, in some cases, command high premiums is due to their alleged scarcity. I have not collected any of these cards, so my question would be how hard would these cards be to duplicated by someone other than the original producer, in effect reducing their scarcity and diluting the value, and offering the reproductions in a secondary market or even ebay?

that's in insane hammer price on that one!!!

I've always thought whoever is making these is very smart...they are beautiful...well made...as advertised...BUT...i can't believe the prices people are paying for them...people are paying vintage prices...which in my opinion is stupid! over time it is my opinion they will depreciate in value!

The creator of these cards has mimicked the business model of the us govt...it's like printing money!!!!

Besides the legality issues those are some very nice fantasy cards and I am not sure how good a reprint would look. Almost $400 for a fantasy card is a lot but it really is a great looking card. They aren't for me but there seems to be a very strong market for these particular ones. Kudos to the maker of them.
