Reprints and Fakes
Hi everyone, with the recent threads and the on-going issue of Fake 52 Topps popping up on eBay I think it would be interesting to have a discussion on reprints and what everyone's feeling is on the topic.
Personally I feel that all reprints should be marked as such. To me its no different then a reprint of an original work of art. If you don't mark it as reprint then someone down the line will try and pass it off as real and that just exacerbates the counterfeiting problem in our industry. I do understand that some people do use reprints as set fillers and to me as long as its marked as reprint and not attempted to be artificially aged then no issue.
Again not opening this thread to call anyone out or accuse anyone of anything I just wanted peoples thoughts on this practice as we have seen the "authentic reprints" of Wagners and Mantles on Ebay and actually commanding quite a bit of money.
