For Sale Artifically Aged Reprints $5.00 Makes Great Gifts See Pics

I think one of the reasons that many of us don't like these reprints is that we were burned by them when we first started collecting. It might not have been a lot of money but it still stings. Think about wives wanting to buy their husbands a Xmas gift, or parents buying a gift for their children. They probably won't do the necessary research and they may end up buying some of this stuff. Add in kids buying for their own collections, and other collectors who are just getting into cards and the potential for problems increases.

It is the people on ebay who list these as real cards and put them in an auction format that seem to cause the most problems. At least you are selling them as reprints, but they should also be clearly marked as reprints. Maybe buy yourself a red rubber "reprint" stamp and stamp the cards.

I've been burned too. Both on a Rolex and some Mantle cards. Well the Rolex was actually my dumb fault. You see I wire transferred the money out of country (this was like 15 years ago) and never heard from or received the watch.

The '56 mantle was my fault. I was an uneducated buyer and got took for $400 bucks. Does it piss me off and make me wanna go burn the SOB's house down. Well maybe. Do I want to start an all out witch hunt and ban everyone selling reprints because of a select few illegitimate people. No

Its like the parents of kids who want to ban guns because the parent left a loaded gun in the house and didn't explain the totality of a bullet through the body. Its not the gun who killed the person its the person that pulled the trigger.

Just like its not the card that took money from you, it was the person you bought it from

Funny, I was wondering to myself today what the cost of buying someones sense of morality would be...apparently it's $5.

Good luck with your business model but these are such terrible looking "aged reprints" that I don't think they will be fooling too many people out there-probably a bummer for you. Honestly, I'm not really sure what you are getting out of all this as I don't see it being worth ANYONES time and effort to make these things for the big $5 (shipped) payday that awaits you. How can you attack someone elses profession in any way when you are willing to do this for a mere $5 (shipped)?

Yikes- I didn't know that this thread was going on until just now...and come to think of it it's a good thing.

This idiot should be banned for any number of reasons, among them posting pictures of Nazis (or whatever), bringing up politics and religion, selling worthless reprints, and all that without posting his name on the board. You can't do this anonymously- that's a board rule.

And the fact that you are clueless about just about everything may not break any rules, but you need to go. Have you ever made a post on this board other than this thread? You need to put these little gems on craigslist, not here.

"Have you ever made a post on this board other than this thread?"

I think the fact that this has turned into a refreshing discussion instead of the original advertisement it was is a neat thing. I believe I have respected the opinions on here about reprint cards and haven't posted anymore reprints for sale on this site. You guys were right, i have not made many sales on here. But I have enjoyed the conversation it has become. You only stay away from politics and religion with family.

A refreshing discussion? It's hard to look away when you see a train wreck ...

...and forums that expressly state in their rules "Politics and religion are not permitted".

Those rules also state "You may remain anonymous as long your post is not controversial or confrontational" - I'm thinkin' that boat has pretty well sailed?

I was stating a relevant point to the topic at hand. We left on good terms
