Has anyone contacted the seller and asked if he personally made the reprint? I was going to but then realized he may have already had that question many times by now.

My only point was: Had this guy used the same quality reprints, and posted them on the BST board, and listed them for $12, he sells them all day. At first glance it was a pretty good reprint. Only because it was a Wagner did we all look closer.

Maybe he sells them, but when the buyer opens the package they should have some sort of gut feeling, even if it's very tiny, that the item has an issue. They can then magnify it and they will know immediately.

True, for an ebay common you aren't going to question it; however, a seller is also unlikely to create a $12 forgery. We could argue all day about that, but it's my opinion. Also, when you take it out of the package you will notice something amiss, even if it's just a tiny bit of discomfort. At that point you get out the loupe. If you don't, that's your business. In all likelihood it's the only $12 forgery you'll ever buy anyway.

Real Sweet Cap back + reproduction Wagner front + arts and crafts techniques + a lot of free time + uneducated buyer + lazy journalism = $0.0 (that's zero point zero dollars for all you Animal House fans out there).

I was reading through this thread... I'm feelin' a bit bettur taday, I'm able to follow it all the way thru. So, I started ta think that If this Gentleman tried to Sell these Reprints on the BST, Everyone hear would Race to Start a Thread oN "What A Knucklehead" this Gentleman iS! (Then I came across the added quote...)

As fir the quoted text... I do believe that You are am Extreme Optimist!
Most folk here are Well versed... And the ones that aren't, Well... they Truly have the Grand Ability Ask Any & All Questions... Some of these Gals & fellr's are Like Natural Ocean Sponges. They pick Everythin uP Very Quickly!

My next thought was... After All this "PUBLISITY", Will All of the Other Tree~nuts Come Swingin' Out to Claim Their Once iN a Life ~ Time Holy Grail?

Can You Imagine if This Gentlemen's Sales Actually Went uP

As Always my Friends...

[ullmandds]

yes...this jason mars guy seems like a really nice, knowledgable guy!
