ACEO reprints - disturbing find, disturbing answer
Mods, feel free to move this to Modern 80's + thread if needed.
Ran across a box of cards with Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Saquon Barkley and Lebron, Steph Curry and a number of other hot new stars with rookie cards that were labeled on the toploaders as reprints. Examining the cards which were Topps, Bowman, Chrome and Donruss that I remember had no such "Reprint" designator on them...all cards were $2-$5 each...and on card stock..
Upon examining them they were pretty high quality inkjet maybe laser repros of real issues. Questioning the lady who was selling them I asked her why she was selling them and she just remarked that she had them marked as reprints on the toploaders... I mentioned the cards themselves weren't marked an maybe she should pull them... she said she would re-mark them so I let it go...
Turns out the cards have a little logo typically around the RC designator of the cards that says "ACEO." Some are bigger and you can actually find them..
ACEO is some sort of graphics arts company you can order from...
Would not the card companies be legally offended that people are reproducing current cards using what you would think are copyrighted images in bulk?
