Derek- insults aside, your insight into what is really going on in this country, based on your very misdirected posts, is truly alarming. Why don't you try reading a few books- I know that is a terribly elitist concept- before you start preaching to educated board members about socialism. Thank you.

Well, as I suspected we are going to get nowhere. So good luck selling your reprints.

Bump. As the OP said, "great gift idea"

I don't know if anyone else is in agreement with me, but I think the OP is simply a troll. I believe his only purpose is to stir the pot and get everyone here fired up. Who else but a troll would start his membership here by alienating everyone from the beginning. This site is home to many hobby heavyweights and to insult these people like he does strikes me as confusing, unless he's a troll!

Seriously, if you're not in favor of either the selling of reprints here or the thoughts and messages of the OP, the best thing you can do it ignore this thread, stop bumping it and let it -- and the OP -- fall off the board.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd guess most people wouldn't have as big a problem with these if the original reprint writing was left on during the aging process. I'd bet most here don't have as big a problem with reprints that are clearly marked. The biggest issue here, I believe, is that these appear created to deceive. Even if the OP is listing them as reprints and selling as such, others won't.

I've bought t206 reprints on this site and no one ever attacked that seller. However, the cards were all clearly marked as reprints. The OP clearly has been stirring the pot in his defense of these cards whether intentional or not.


Personally I have a project that I'd like to do and can't afford and don't want to use originals for it and these reprints would work nicely. I was at a sportsbar where I noticed the tables had cards laminated in some way into the surface. The cards used were like 1994 UD or something, but I thought it might be cool to do something similar witha coffee table and vintage reprints. The cost for originals would be too much and I wouldn't want to destroy them in a table. That's why I previously expressed interest in the cards.

Nicely played. Game. Set. And Match.

We have moved from phony cards to phony cards in phony slabs.

Awesome thread. Derek, I could care less one way or another about your reprints but you've spent an awful amount of time in order to make $5. Are things that slow?

[AndyG09]

I think the OP might be from Chicago and once owned a nice back collection for about a month before going into the fraud print business.

I now appreciate how Derek preaches to do his research but then he comes out with a blanket statement like "95% of collectors..."...Derek...where did you get this figure? Did you do any market research? Conduct any polls?

Sheesh...I now feel he is just a troll who stumbled into a part of the internet he was not prepared for.
