#4 is my big peeve.
Total waste of my time opening up something that wasn't listed as reprint to find out it is.
Total waste of time having thousands of Mantle reprints that you can't get rid of to find the real ones.
I understand that there are some good reprints out there. I have two that I can't quite tell if they are real or not (Rose RC and 62 Mantle) because they feel a bit thin - but otherwise look right. So when selling those I get the caveat saying these might be reprints.
But in 99% of the times - the seller knows he's selling a fake and is hoping the buyer is too stupid to know it and will pay top dollar.
Those are the sellers I never buy from for any reason though. Frequently I email them and ask them to block me from their auctions (in case I forget who they are).
Cheers,
Patrick
