Artificially Aged Reprints Terrorize Arizona

This is the EXACT reason why guys like rarerookies should NOT be selling reprinted cards. An unknowing person spends a large amount of money (for them) buying cards and think they have a gold mine. Then when they find out they have been taken and can NOT sell the cards for nearly as much as they paid for them (large financial loss for them) they get discouraged and STOP collecting cards.

This not only happens to young people buying cards for themsleves, but for women buying cards for their guys, parents and grand parents buying cards for their children and grand children. When these people get taken enough times or for large sums of money (for them) they get frustrated and LEAVE the hobby/business.

This is why I NEVER buy reprinted cards. I don't feel like wasting my money on a fake when I COULD be saving/spending that money on a REAL card, no matter what the condition. Also, if I did buy a fake (like a T206 Wagner or 1952 Topps Mantle, for example), I would always look at it and be reminded that I didn't have the money for the real thing and might NEVER have it and I do not want to have that staring me in the face every time I look at that card.
