I think Nazi's and the Communist's did similar things to beliefs that they didn't like too. Screw the Bill of Rights. Just a piece of paper when people disagree. If you disagree with this please tell me you disagree with all the pirated music, bootlegged movies, knock off purses and Folex watches.

We will get rid of all the religions, democracy, and capitalist ideas that plague our society forever!!!

Why not just stamp them "reprint" and avoid all the contention? I think you wouldn't have so much venom spit at you if you just did that. What would be the harm in an embossed stamp on the back that says what it is? Those in the hobby are the only police in the hobby, so you have to see why some are so concerned. You must realize by doing this you create a problem that doesn't need to be. Topps issues reprints all the time and no one here bats an eyelash. That's because they are clearly marked as reprints and it's all done above board. I think it's the deceptive way this process is done that makes it so offensive to most on this site. Just some insights, take them or leave them. Yes this is America, you have every right to do what you do, but it doesn't make it moral.

Yes, I disagree with all forms of pirated and counterfeited products. I do not support such activities as they violate trademark, patent, copyright laws, etc., and represent a form of theft.

As for your decision to take reprints and age them to look like originals, this is a form of fraud aimed at deceiving unsuspecting consumers. Just because you are making and selling the counterfeits as reprints for only $5 each, you think that you are not at fault - but you are! You know full well that the majority of individuals interested in your service are con artists who will attempt to pass off the fakes as originals for much higher prices. You are profiting from a service that supports the counterfeit card market. (Consider - Aren't the guys who produce meth in their home labs just as guilty as the dealers who sell / distribute the illegal drugs to addicts and children?)

It's disturbing that you would compare your unethical and immoral practice to the pursuit of freedom of "religions, democracy, and capitalist ideas". You truly have a warped sense of justice, and you apparently lack the basic understanding of the concept of what is right and wrong.

I hope that you will give further consideration to this matter and recognize that you are engaging in a dishonest actitivity that promotes fraud. If your artificial aging business were to actually take off and increase in volume, you could end up being prosecuted by authorities for conspiracy as part of a counterfeit memorabilia ring. Please discontinue your promotion of this dishonorable pursuit and find a hobby that is more worthy of your time and effort.
