Default A few VERY basic questions from a new/old collector

These reprints were also around when you were collecting 14 - 16 years ago. It was easy to pull out a 16X glass and spot a reprint. Very tough if not sometimes impossible to do that on Ebay on certain cards. As was mentioned, buying raw commons from reputable dealers is okay. On higher priced cards, I would always stick with graded cards even from reputable dealers. If a reputable dealer is selling an expensive card raw, there is probably a reason for that, and that reason won't be to your benefit.
