Reprint guys

Ben - I know some people collect them. Wasn't being dismissive of that at all. Will be the closest many of us could ever get to some of the holy grail (or medium holy grail) cards.

Never thought you were. I just don't think the crap they sell should be called reprints.

EDIT: I say their crap should not be called reprints even though some are altered reprints is because reprints are not meant to deceive anybody. JMHO

AMEN. I report counterfeits that are listed as reprints all the time.

I found out by accident years ago that reputable reprints actually have a nice little market. I had gotten a TON of CCC sets in a collection and I threw them up for auction individually just to get something out of them. I literally didn't factor in any amount for them when I bought the collection. Imagine my surprise when they went collectively well over $1k.

Fake, counterfeits etc.....not good if not advertised explicitly that way. I too have seen a few authorized reprints have some value. They aren't for me but if folks enjoy them, and can fill a hole in a set they wouldn't otherwise, so be it.
