Is this guy serious?
My car gets a "bath" on a regular basis. That doesn't make it FAKE.

So basically you really have nothing of any substance to say about the topic besides grammar issues?

#204

It doesn't make it a fake but it does alter the appearance of the card

No one has given me a reason not to believe my argument and as long as you guys keep posting on this thread I'll keep responding.

That makes no sense. You can legally own a reprint.

The difference, obvious to everyone except you, is that you are "aging" the cards to deceive, not enhance. Putting lipstick on the pig so to speak!
If you use a little water to get rid of some dirt, you are not deceiving anyone. If you wish to sell this crap, this is probably the wrong place to do it. I would suggest places like Blowout cards, who's card buying members might not have the same upstanding morals as the members of this site do! You are not going to find any sympathy or customers here! Sorry if i am being rude, and i am sure I am not alone in this statement... IF YOUR ONLY PURPOSE HERE IS TO SELL REPRINTS ..... GO AWAY!! (i apologize in advance Leon)

I don't read stupid threads often. But when I do, I prefer to read about artificially aged reprints that will be sold at a later date on eBay to a clueless collector.
Stay thirsty my friends. |

Yeah, please peddle your junk elsewhere. This site is for collectors of authentic material.

RR- I was just reminded of that because,..
If you're selling reprints,that is perfectly legal. But if your selling reprints that have been "enhanced" to look real,then it's obvious that your target market will be mainly crooks who will try to resell the cards as real,which is Illegal. I admit it's not a apples to apples comparison,but I said I was reminded of it,not that it was the same. |

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 haven't posted anything else for sale on this site since I found out you guys weren't interested.

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? Quote:

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.

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?

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

Yeah, the lefties never called Bush Hitler or anything like that. They were too busy smoking dope, collecting their allowances and buying baseball cards.

Great Gift Idea!
This thread has really got me thinking.
What would be the best way to artificially age a recreation of Hitler's used dental floss? It would make a great stocking stuffer for that special nazi on your Christmas list. Really, this thread lives?? |

Hitler had false teeth. Seriously get your history right before it makes you look ignorant again, sir.

A quote from you. "What would be the best way to artificially age a recreation of Hitler's used dental floss?"
Enlighten me, what else would have Hitler uses dental floss for? Quote:

This has got to be . . .
. . . one of the lamest 235+ post car-crash-troll threads I've ever forced myself to read through on Net54baseball.com.
Aside from the lefty-righty political Nazi jabs taking place in the margins, the whole thing can be summed up by (1) a guy that is legally selling altered reprints vs. (2) the conscience of the entire pre-war baseball card community that disdains people that legally sell altered reprints. I've enjoyed my popcorn more watching "I know you are, but what am I" fights between kids on a playground. Sheesh... no reason to lock the thread, it's so boring it will ultimately fall by the weight of its own lameness.

not usually.....will I lock them....
As a general rule I don't like to lock threads, censor, tell people what to say, protect advertisers or ban/suspend people etc.......Think of a moderator as a referee in a fight. They should be seen but not heard too much. If people will quit posting in this thread it will move off of the page...

Enough with this thread. let's all move on
Wow 10,000 views on this thread. I never thought it would reach this number. I just wanted to let everyone know that I have enjoyed this conversation. I really didn't intend to get into a moral or ethical debate with everyone but it has been fun. Really a lot of fun. And thank you Leon for letting me express my opinion about the subject.
I actually started signing up on forums to sell cards. I quickly found out that you guys weren't interested to say the least and I have respected the requests and no posted anymore reprints for sale you net54. I'll have to agree with you guys on here. We are starting to beat a dead horse. You guys have your opinion and I have mine, neither one right or wrong. But we need to move on. I think we all know where we stand on the issue. This is the first forum I have ever really posted responses on. Before that I didn't know what a "troll" was or a "bump" was. I was simply arguing my point but now its time to move on to the next latest and greatest. Have a good one derek Quote:

Oh, no. Clearly, one opinion is right and yours is wrong. (At least in this case.) The point may have been debatable, until you started scratching off "Reprint" on the backs of the cards. At that point, the discussion should have ended.

Curtis manages the images of Ruth, Gehrig, Williams and several others. The cards may now be public domain, but several of the images, if reproduced without a license probably have opened up the publisher/creator to some pretty significant legal exposure.
