I think reprints are great. It lets me own a card that I would never be able to afford if real. The same goes for entire vintage sets for me. I recently had a deal made to get several Bowman reprint sets and when the owner backed out of the completed deal I was as depressed that I did not get them as any real card I have missed out on.
I collect beater real cards so I guess reprints are not the big step down for me that it would for the people that hate them.
