hankronI have long beleived that it's okay to reprint cards assuming the reprinter has the legal right and the reprints are signficantly different than the genuine cards. Examples of difference include different size, silver bordered T205s, a totally different back, 1933 Goudey Postcards ... It also doesn't hurt to have a reprint mark or date somewhere, as a non-collector picking up a different backed T205 at a garage sale may have no clue what are the correct backs .... Beyond eBay trickery, reprints too close to the original will unduly confuse many homest collectors.
If someone says, "I have made reprints that even fooled dealers," those are exactly the types of reprints that shouldn't be sold to the general public.
