A reprint by any other name is still a reprint.

There's a nice article about this card creator in the July 11 SCD.

Should these Ars Longa cards be slabbable?

Only issue I see is whether there is a standard condition, or if they are artificially worn before release.

I actually think they are really pretty, and the most artistic fantasy set I've ever seen. But they should not be eligible for slabbing. Just my opinion.

I just looked at the Wagner. $200 plus for a reprint that has been manually distressed? Uh, ok, whatever.

If there's a buck to be made they will be slabbed by someone.

From the FAQ on their site:

Are Ars Longa Art Cards reproductions or reprints?

No. Ars Longa Art Cards are original pieces of collectible art. Ars Longa incorporates historical design features and images to create original contemporary artwork. We then manually distress each card to create a timeless and attractive one-of-a-kind work of art with an authentic vintage appeal.

Our intention is to honor the sport and the hobby by bringing their histories to life through art. By drawing attention to certain players, their stories and accomplishments, and drawing inspiration from some iconic card designs, we hope to make the early histories of baseball and the baseball card more accessible to collectors.

I understand that distinction, but at the same time, to me, any non-contemporaneous card, in the style of prior issues, is essentially a reprint.
