What's your opinion of Modern-Day 'Vintage' Art Cards?

IMO No need - I would think that almost everyone sees the difference between those and the real 1952 cards- different poses too.

People try to sell crappy reprints as real. I can easily see people trying to con others with these.

I did a t205 update set for funsies a few years ago...meant to print them out but never really did...feel free to print a set if you like...some turned out better than others.

I own a few ACEO cards and one of the Banty Red cards, all Steve Garvey. I stopped buying when other bidders were jumping the price up over $5 in most cases. They were fun to chase for something new at first, but eventually you have to realize that they keep getting churned out. There will be an endless supply of limited cards like this as long as people are paying 2 and three figures for them!

The one I really wanted and didn't get was a 1978 art card that went for about $45, well beyond what I would want to pay. The guy who bought it resisted it for $150 and there it has sat since.

To me these have a little bit of art value, very little. For a very low price (5 bucks or less) I could see owning one. I remember buying a Joe Jackson, on the Pelicans, Reach cut out from a magazine. It went well with a premium I had and was about 10 bucks. Same idea here...

I don't own any and have no desire to own any, but refuse to judge others on what they want to collect.I do object to any mis-repretention or fraud in trying to pass these cards off as real....
