For Sale Artifically Aged Reprints $5.00 Makes Great Gifts See Pics

As a Tax Attorney and not a CPA, I will tell you that you are wrong when you talk about all the Gray Area. The Law is very clear, it is how a person with an agenda (like sheltering as much money as possible or perhaps violating copyright law to make a $5 windfall) can interpret the Law that makes it gray. You can get into all sorts of debates about "What constitutes Entertainment Expenses" and "Meals" if you want to but have those discussions with a certified Tax Lawyer, maybe even one teaches the subject at a Law School, and I promise you the gray fades to nice shades of dark black and bright white. Just because you dont get audited by the IRS and get put in a position where you have to try and defend your practices does not mean the practice is condoned or right.

Just thought I would chime in as someone who knows a thing or two about Tax Law, at least more than the average H&R block worker or maybe an expert without a ton of tact.

Derek- and I see you did put your first name out there- one of the most outrageous things anyone can do is trivialize the holocaust. When you compare the people on this board asking you not to sell reprints, to Nazi bookburning, you show an absolute lack of understanding history. Why don't you read a book or two about World War II and the holocaust before ever making such a horrific comparison again.

And on a lesser note, when a baseball card has the word "reprint" on the back, never ever remove it. You know that someone down the food chain is going to get burned for paying a lot of money for it because he thinks it may be real.

rarerookies,

I know someone who is willing to buy your cards; money is no object to him.

Coincidentally, he had a similar hobby as yours - he took "reprints" of U.S. currency and artificially aged each piece to give it that well-worn look that you strive for with your items.

The only thing he asks is if you can hold the cards for him until he makes parole in February.

LMK if you are interested...

I thought it was message board received wisdom that when a thread degenerates into Nazi references, it's time for it to go.
