Ebay Scam: Honus Wagner Rp!!!

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

I agree with the above.

It wont happen, but it would be great if eBay had a seperate category, or section for Reprints

Talk about naivete.

Can you imagine eBay being concerned about buyers, and their hidden user ID's.

[Rob D.]

If the concern is sellers who knowingly sell reprints as originals, then eBay implementing a section devoted to reprints wouldn't do a thing to help curtail the problem. Just having a "reprints" section isn't going to result in sellers listing their fakes cards in the proper category.

[barrysloate]

Ebay has a section for reproductions under U.S. Coins. Unfortunately, the result is often pages and pages of worthless repros (all originating from China) polluting the listing for the vintage ones.

I remember the numistmatic world well.
I spent about 35 years in it.
The days of Eddie Brown, Jack Fiorino from Queens, Brigandi from Manhattan. sigh.

There are a few similarities in the both hobbies ... but I don't think Chinese baseball card reprints is one of them.
