I tried to educate...he is a troll.

You want a better comparison...

You take a known fake purse and remove the tags and add gucci symbol. You say you are just enhancing something to make it affordable to someone who can't own the real thing. You want it to look authentic. It is still a fake though and can still then be used for a fraudulent transaction.

OR...you take a real gucci bag, clean off the dirt and sew up the rip. It is still a real gucci bag and still retains its value as such.

Do you get it now?

I understand what you are saying but you are bashing me for something someone else might do. And not what I am doing. Just like if someone goes out and buys sudafed and makes meth out of it or someone buys a gun and murders someone.

Do you blame the gun or the drug manufacturer or do you blame the person who buys it?

Yawn. I have not followed this thread, but of the little I have skimmed through this morning, I have one request: Leon, please shut this down.

+1. This guy is free to start a forum for collectors of artficially aged reprinted cards. Or used dental floss. He has worn out his welcome here.

Turning sudafed into meth requires work. Buying a gun requires some process (background checks / certification /etc). Buying a $5 reprint from you that has been made to look like the original and had the word "reprint" removed is MUCH easier.

What you are actually doing (using your analogy) is taking sudafed (a reprint with "reprint" on it) and turning it into what looks and tastes like meth, but selling it as sudafed. Obviously, someone down the line will try to pass it off as the real thing, which its not.

So are you saying that I am just as guilty for selling reprints as the end user is for selling them at original?

No not at all, I believe the correct term would be 'enabler'

[rarerookies]

Ok, that's fair. I will accept that title.

Here's an artificially aged card that has been altered by Nazis. Can we put this thread out of its misery now?
