I don't expose many of these fakes on ebay

when I was more serious about card colecting I wanted to assemble a checklist of ALL the reprint sets on the market. Larry Fritch used to have advertisments for many sets and I figured that would be a good place to start. I never did it as the reprint issue no longer just a manufactured industry. In today's super fast world of super computers, super copiers and home printing capabilities - I think many people can make reprints that mirror real cards when they are at the very least seen only on the internet, and might fool even the savy collector in person (although card stock issue and inks become problematic and depending on how much they want or need to "trick" you cost prohibitive as well). There is no substitute for experience and a measured approach. Lots of people out there looking to seperate you from your money.
