I'd like to sell that part of you a bridge in Brooklyn.

Unfortunately that part of me is always broke

Brad. Why would you sell reprints online, or off for that matter?.. I can't think of any positive outcome from doing it. Sorry bud, had to say it.

Maybe for those people that like the player/card and can't afford the real thing. I see nothing wrong with selling reprints as long as they are advertised as such. Along the same lines as copies of photos of Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson and the Babe that people sell every day.

Just my .02

Frank - I think most would agree if the card itself said "reprint" on it (perhaps on the back). That way we wouldn't have to worry about the 2nd or 3rd person to own it trying to sell it as authentic (accidentally or otherwise).

Matt, then this has more to do with the card manufacturer than the seller. To me the manufacturer has more responsibility to make/show a distinction between the real thing and the reprint. As a seller, he or she has the right to sell the card as long as they identify it as a reprint. I can certainly understand your position about the 2nd and 3rd seller being dishonest, but again it first started with the manufacturer.

But that wasn't the original question posed to Brad. I only answered the question as it was posted.

You make it seem selling a disclosed reprint would tarnish a legitimate collectors reputation I bought the card as a reprint and sold the card it as a reprint, what's the problem with that?

Not being able to afford the real card is a possibility, but is totally irrelevant in this thread! I hope this clears any misconceptions you may have towards me. If you have any other question regarding my credibility as a seller, please don't hesitate!

Don't be so sensitive there son... It's not about you, I or the majority of the membership. But that novice collector getting the shaft. Simply put, some these gems WILL inevitably bite some poor schmuck in the butt. Nothing personal, just a pet peave since buying a fake Gehrig many years ago. -Steve

It is not a question about being sensitive Steve. It’s a question about you consciously or unconsciously trying to manufacture a problem on my behalf.

“Why would you sell reprints online, or off for that matter?..”

Steve what makes you think I sold more then one reprint on or off line? I wouldn’t want to be considered a reprint seller within our community, would you? Steve don’t assume anything or imply I’m known for selling reprints..

“I can't think of any positive outcome from doing it.”

NO KIDDING!

Buying a high valued card worth thousands without doing personal research would only be ignorant. Buy graded material at first.

Reprints? are a 35 yr old debate. If you read the old hobby rags they were very frowned upon when they very first came out. After that they became more accepted and Larry Frisch (RIP) has sold thousands of sets of reprints. The only thing wrong with them, in my book, is exactly as Steve points out. They are a potential for a bad deal from/for unsuspecting, unknowing, hobbyists. When reprints are sold and handled as reprints there is no issue. regards
