I am the one giving historical information and providing facts for my opinions You are the one making slanderous remarks. So if IQ # is the status quo for this board, then maybe you should refrain from posting remarks.

Derek- insults aside, your insight into what is really going on in this country, based on your very misdirected posts, is truly alarming. Why don't you try reading a few books- I know that is a terribly elitist concept- before you start preaching to educated board members about socialism. Thank you.

Well, as I suspected we are going to get nowhere. So good luck selling your reprints.

[Matthew H]

Bump. As the OP said, "great gift idea"

[jb217676]

I don't know if anyone else is in agreement with me, but I think the OP is simply a troll. I believe his only purpose is to stir the pot and get everyone here fired up. Who else but a troll would start his membership here by alienating everyone from the beginning. This site is home to many hobby heavyweights and to insult these people like he does strikes me as confusing, unless he's a troll!

Seriously, if you're not in favor of either the selling of reprints here or the thoughts and messages of the OP, the best thing you can do it ignore this thread, stop bumping it and let it -- and the OP -- fall off the board.

So what exactly is your defense for selling the below card in one of your storefronts?

I think you are nothing better than a whore and should go set up your wares on a shady city street corner.

Awesome thread. Derek, I could care less one way or another about your reprints but you've spent an awful amount of time in order to make $5. Are things that slow?

I think the OP might be from Chicago and once owned a nice back collection for about a month before going into the fraud print business.

I now appreciate how Derek preaches to do his research but then he comes out with a blanket statement like "95% of collectors..."...Derek...where did you get this figure? Did you do any market research? Conduct any polls?

Sheesh...I now feel he is just a troll who stumbled into a part of the internet he was not prepared for.

Derek: When Sarah Palin is President in a couple of years the American Khmer Rouge will round up guys like me, Jim and Barry and shoot us. No worries.

So I drove to Houston and back yesterday, to see family. It was 9 hours on the road and we had a good time.
I didn't even see this thread until just now. For the record the original poster registered with the name "Derek Masters" so I will assume that is who he is. I am a bit on the fence about what to do with the whole scenario. I don't think banning is usually a good solution.

Derek- we don't talk about politics, religion or anyone's family members on this board. The last one will get anyone banned quicker than anything else. I am against these fakes because, as most have alluded to, eventually they will end up with someone buying the card for their spouse and getting burned, or something like that. Now, if they clearly say "reprint" on them, then I don't have as much of a problem. Also, we have a ton of Jewish members on the board (as well as all other religions and denominations too) so any trivializing of the Holocaust is not going to be well received. Lets keep it about cards and there won't need to be moderating intervention. best regards

David- when Sarah Palin becomes president I will be moving to the Belgian Congo, so they won't be able to find me.

Barry, I don't think the Belgian's are in the Congo anymore, but if invited, I'll visit you ........

[HRBAKER]

Barry that is very Alec Baldwinesque of you.

[rarerookies]

In my opinion you guys are unsuccessfully defending your argument. I got an idea, if this is going to keep going less do a q&a type thing. Direct ?'s to me or anyone else on here. You guys don't like reprints about as much as me not liking pizza on the bar at a Chinese buffet. It just ain't right.

Have you ever bought a car without a test drive or a mechanic checking it out? Or ever bought a home without an appraisal? If you weren't born yesterday then you probably already know that you should check stuff out before you buy it. The house wife's & uneducated hobbyists that you guys talk about getting taken advantage of on a reprint are probably the same people that get ripped off buying homes, cars and just about anything else.

If you have then unfortunately you are one of those people who will probably get burned on a baseball card. Will probably get burned on a car purchase and about anything else of perceived value or necessity

Someone please tackle these questions instead of just taking bits and pieces of a paragraph and using it for your own poorly researched and unfounded comments.

I'll start off with a few to get it started. A couple is really important to me to clear up what i referred to as i would never use the genocide of a people to be a point in defending reprint baseball cards.

1. When I was making references to the NSDAP or NAZI party, that I mentioned anything about the holocaust?

2. Would you agree that the only reference made when speaking of the NAZI party was there restriction on civil liberties and resources for the German people?

3. For those who smoke or drink: On your personal property, in your house, or in a smoking section that someone has the moral authority to tell you to cease your activities because they disapprove?
