Baseball Cards in the Era of Digital Photography

This is why vintage cards with a bit of "patina" are so enjoyable to me. I always appreciate the reaction of people outside the hobby have for a nm, nm+ T card vs. a vg-ex, ex card when you tell them they are both 100 years old. "That one doesn't look old, it looks brand new." I prefer the nicer cards in my collection, but enjoy showing the aged cards more because they get a more genuine reaction most of the time.

Also, they've had reprints for decades. That is nothing new.

Agree wholeheartedly.
