So no reasonable response to my argument?
Just if they are reprints they should be stamped as reprints.
Not anything like never buy anything you are not familiar with? Stay away from Grandpa's Attic sellers?
Not to say that the cards weren't made to deceive a person but an educated person in the hobby would be able to quickly identify the real from the fake. Just like buying Rolex's, if you don't know what to look for you'll get burned on the purchase.
I don't spend "real" money on something that I am uneducated on. Whether its mutual funds, cars, watches, pens, or baseball cards. If I can't explain basic ins and outs of the product I am purchasing including if there are copies floating around then I don't need to make the purchase.
I've got burned buying a fraudulent card. $800 bucks. From a guy who got it from his dad and posted it on Craigslist because he needed the money real bad.
Do you know what? I have never been burned again on cards.
Yeah it sucks that people have to ruin the hobby buy screwing people over. There's a special place you know where for them.
I guess the best way to say it. You know how you can go into an art store and buy a reprint of the mona lisa. You hang it up on the wall and appreciate the creativity and the shear shock and aww of it. Same thing with a 1933 goudey ruth reprint
