Is there any designation on the cards or pieces that it is a re-release? Thanks.

Chris, I heard back from Michael and he indicated that the new cards would be exactly the same! That would serve to destroy the very collectors market they have cited in their marketing material! I have urged him to reconsider and put a reprint mark on the backs.

Yes, that would seem it could cause some problems for previous collectors of the issue, such that, maybe it isn't a bad question to ask others too? For that reason, this thread was moved from the appropriate section (thanks Original Poster for that), to the front page. Happy collecting....

I supplied the photos for the McCarver and Groat cards for these folks. I didn't think to ask if they would mark them reprints. I assumed they would.

Thanks Howard. That was my concern when I saw it. And, thanks for putting this on the main forum Leon so more people can be aware to look out for these on the market. It's a cool idea but hopefully something that will include the current year or "reprint" on it somewhere.

Presumably the card stock or gloss would be completely different? But yes, for people looking at pictures on eBay, could be a concern.

Insufficient to mark only the cards as repros -- the box, charts, &c' need to have some distinguishing feature as well.
Collectors have paid good money for any components of the original game.

Maybe they could use a different retro typeface for all the materials?

[Butch7999]

Wouldn't have to involve anything radical or any expensive redesign -- just something like "2018 repro edition" in small print
somewhere unobtrusive on the cards, charts, and box... like Larry Fritsch Cards marks "reprint" on all their repro sets...
