This is one of the reasons I hate reprints, I wish every reprint would disappear from the face of the earth. I feel a very high percentage of them are just used to scam people.

Of course they are. Reprints are scammers fodder. But for some collectors they can serve a purpose (I guess) or they wouldn't be made. Many, many years ago this same debate was had.

I am mostly a post war collector and have been collecting since 1957. My main focus has been Topps and Fleer. I have the Topps sets, 1948 and 1951 to 2015, and Fleer 1923 (work in progress), and 1959 to 2007.

I was born in 1950 and never had personal interaction with the Bowman sets when they were active, and for a long time did not consider putting them together. Fritsch was selling reprints of those sets for 48 through 52 ( not sure if reprints for 53 to 55 exist or not), and I bought them just to become familiar with them some. Since then I have put together the Bowman run, 48 to 55. But I still have the reprints. I would give them away if I knew someone who just wanted them as reprint sets

At least it's the correct color

Looking at the other listings, this seller is trying every reprint commonly made looking for a sucker.

I have this mental picture of whoever this seller is pushing the submit button on these listings and the computer makes that sound of the line coming off a fishing reel and a little "splish" as the worm hits the water.

Get the feeling this guy is waiting for his bobber to go under all day?

Somebody got a steal at 50 bucks on the T206 Plank he just sold.

[xplainer]

He also has a Plank and Wagner listed.
And he is in Hong Kong.
Seems legit.
