Actually there is plenty of money to be made buying these cards. Simply buy a few of these cards and list them on eBay. Use some of the following phrases: 1. Grampa's attic, 2. Selling as reprint, but looks real to me; 3. Doesn't say reprint anywhere on card; 4. I'm not a professional grader; 5. I don't have time to send to a professional grader. From what I see, people generally bid far more than $5 on these type of listings.

Yes I am sure people take advantage of unsuspecting buyers of cards. I totally agree with that. I can go to bed each night knowing that I have disclosed that these cards were reprints. Once its outta my hands its outta my hands. With some cold medicine, brake fluid and a few other ingredients you can make meth. Why don't you start a campaign to ban brake fluid and cold medicine? Products can used for good things or bad. Gun's for defending homes or for murderers, cold medicine for people with allergies or making meth and reprints for people who appreciate trading cards and one's that are used to rip people off.

Its a two sided coin.

If the cards don't say reprint on them then there is a good chance they will be sold as originals by a fraudulent person. Sell reprints with them stamped as reprint or get them out of our hobby!

Just if they are reprints they should be stamped as reprints.

Not anything like never buy anything you are not familiar with? Stay away from Grandpa's Attic sellers?

Not to say that the cards weren't made to deceive a person but an educated person in the hobby would be able to quickly identify the real from the fake. Just like buying Rolex's, if you don't know what to look for you'll get burned on the purchase.

I don't spend "real" money on something that I am uneducated on. Whether its mutual funds, cars, watches, pens, or baseball cards. If I can't explain basic ins and outs of the product I am purchasing including if there are copies floating around then I don't need to make the purchase.

I've got burned buying a fraudulent card. $800 bucks. From a guy who got it from his dad and posted it on Craigslist because he needed the money real bad.

Do you know what? I have never been burned again on cards.

Yeah it sucks that people have to ruin the hobby buy screwing people over. There's a special place you know where for them.

I guess the best way to say it. You know how you can go into an art store and buy a reprint of the mona lisa. You hang it up on the wall and appreciate the creativity and the shear shock and aww of it. Same thing with a 1933 goudey ruth reprint

This is where you get the "education and not buying from reputable sellers" lightbulb
