This guy is identifying them as reprints. What about the guy that buys them? It is true that they wouldn't fool an experienced collector but the "professional aging" could surely garner bids from newbies. Selling these cards as reprints allows the seller to sleep at night with no thought of the next transaction. It is like somebody selling "those" bath salts as bath salts.

I understand the concern, but I agree with the others that as long as the seller is clearly listing them as reprints, I don't have a problem. It is the shifty eBayers who pass off reprints as real or potentially real that cause a great deal of problems.

Another thing about this seller that I like is that he correctly designated his listing as a reprint in the "original/reprint" category. The shifty ones don't properly classify theirs and so they end up in everyone's searches.

I agree with this. Selling reprints and listing them as reprints is one thing, I don't like the "professionally aged" part.

The word "professionally aged" is kind of funny if you think about though. He's selling cards that are professionally aged as opposed to cards that are aged by an amateur How does one become a "professional" at this?

What does 'professionally distressed' mean? A psychiatrist told the cards some scary things?

Actually, professionally means he expect to make a profit from it.

I am professionally aged. Does that count? Seriously, I hope folks don't get too fooled by all of the fakes and reprints on ebay but I imagine some do. Especially folks who haven't found our board and are new to collecting.

The auction description clearly states it's for your man cave not resale.
