I can buy a print of a Van Gogh but it will never be a Van Gogh. I am of the opinion I would rather admire from afar than have something fake in my possession. Last edited by ksabet; 11-27-2015 at 01:44 PM. |

LOL, I even own Van Gough art print. For me it is just a hobby and would not pay more than a few hundred for any card.

What I don't get is having reprints GRADED! All over ebay are tons of reprint cards slabbed. WHY??? The slab is worth more than the card

I have seen very few real cards that the slab was not worth more than the card in it.

This brings up another interesting question. Why do we need to OWN any of these cards? We can go online and see high quality scans of pretty much any card we'd like to look at. Why the need to be the owner of the item? I'm not as familiar with the art world, but I would imagine that an art connoisseur is content in looking at works of art and doesn't feel the need to own them (obviously some very wealthy people are able to do both).
I don't really know the answer to the question. My girlfriend and I have tried to pin it down without much success. She just chalks it up to me being a "weirdy" |

If I were going to "buy" reprints"...I'd sooner make xerox copies of scans from the internet...or just collect scans. I'd rather collect scans than buy repro sh$t!
just my humble opine. |

as for collecting reprint cards......I think there are several collectors out there are collecting reprint 1952 mantles, though they think they are original..but that still makes them a reprint collector.. Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 11-27-2015 at 03:30 PM. |

I'm sorry, but I have to collect reprints since I really can't afford many baseball cards in even poor grade.
