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

[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.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd guess most people wouldn't have as big a problem with these if the original reprint writing was left on during the aging process. I'd bet most here don't have as big a problem with reprints that are clearly marked. The biggest issue here, I believe, is that these appear created to deceive. Even if the OP is listing them as reprints and selling as such, others won't.

I've bought t206 reprints on this site and no one ever attacked that seller. However, the cards were all clearly marked as reprints. The OP clearly has been stirring the pot in his defense of these cards whether intentional or not.


Personally I have a project that I'd like to do and can't afford and don't want to use originals for it and these reprints would work nicely. I was at a sportsbar where I noticed the tables had cards laminated in some way into the surface. The cards used were like 1994 UD or something, but I thought it might be cool to do something similar witha coffee table and vintage reprints. The cost for originals would be too much and I wouldn't want to destroy them in a table. That's why I previously expressed interest in the cards.

I smell Peter Chao or whatever his name was. Seems to be just egging everyone on.

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

For various reasons I made a management decision and moved this to the front page for all to see. Many, many members don't look at the place that it was on the BST side. I will also reiterate my position on banning and censoring. I am very much against it unless there is something extraordinary that leads to that decision....or multiple infractions etc.... I truly believe that we can learn a lot from these types of threads. Happy collecting!!

How about telling people to wipe their ass with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? Does that qualify as crossing the line?

Yes it does....and quite honestly Barry, if you ran the board it would have been shut down 3578 times now because of this kind of stuff. As I told you earlier this guy is on a short leash...but it's also important to let people stick their feet in their mouths too (imo)......I don't think we should help save people from themselves. I am sure others will disagree, and some will agree, but this has always been my MO.....regards

btw, my 14 yr old has heard the word "ass" many times.....it's not in the top 10 of "dirty words" that can't be said on the board....and also, nothing personal here. You are certainly one of my favorite people in the hobby and I consider you beyond a "hobby" friend...

Parchment is not very absorbant from what I hear anyways, but repro Baseball Cards are. Hopefully there is nothing that chaffe's in his "artificially aging" chemicals!

Leon, let me just say that you're one of the most level headed administrators
I've ever seen on these internet thingys

[Wite3]

Stayed out of this but I too have a pet peeve whenever some misinformed person pulls out the Bill of Rights and the Constitution to protect their "free speech." The Bill of Rights says nothing about your right to say anything. What it talks about is the restriction on the government (specifically the Congress) from creating any laws restricting your right to free speech.
For reference the First Amendment actually reads:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I will never be arrested for yelling louder than you which is technically restricting your free speech. Never happen. Why, because it is totally legal and the Bill of Rights says nothing about that. Leon can ban you which does not make him a socialist (don't get me started on that view either) or a criminal. It makes him a citizen.

Most "laws" concerning free speech have been created through the actions of the judicial department in interpreting the Constitution and the common laws of the land.

So Derek...to you, I say be quiet, shut your mouth, shut your trap, take it elsewhere, cram it in your piehole, shut off the word faucet, take some pepto for your diarrhea of the mouth, stick your head back in the sand (but take it out of your butt first), hush your mouth, put a sock in it, zip it, pipe down, cut the chatter, children should be seen and not heard, simmer down, etc....none of which is illegal or trampling on your rights. So sorry.
