Good day,
Honestly I am not sure how to take something like this. Take a look at these two auctions, and if somebody could do the link thing, thanks:

180205173914
180205172026

I have seen this guy do similar stuff like this before with Non Sport. I guess if somebody is stupid enough to pay that kind of money for a BS copy of something valuable and collectible, than more power to him, but I still get a queasy feeling about it and it still feels wrong !!!!
Any thoughts ????

    Nothing wrong with this. In fact, you have to give the guy kudos for blatantly putting the words "reprint" all over the auction. If someone's dumb enough to buy them for that price, that's 100% on the buyer.

    They're re-prints. It says so at least 3 times - once in the title and twice in the description. I don't know how much clearer he could get? People only make a big deal about reprints when they sell for big bucks. Let me ask you a question. Let's say the auctions closed at $.99 each. Then is it a big deal? No, because the cards sold for what you would expect them to. Another question. If the auctions would have closed at $.99, would you have even brought it up???

    sleazeball?.. Nah, just dumb. In the wrong hands, these could reappear later on -as authentic.

    Yeah, that's one of the reasons I brought it up. In the wrong hands who knows...... The Munsters Stickers are not that big of a deal they peaked a couple of years ago and the real ones are probably only worth $15-$20 buck each in NM-MT. The Spook Stories are a different story, they have been going tha last year or so in NM-MT Raw for anywhere from $30-$300 each and they are Hot Hot !!!!. I could sell any I could get my hands on all day !!!!!!!
    Sort of a side note, Obviously Leaf went out of business years ago, The Spook Stories are 1961 Leaf. So does anyone own the Copyrights to any stuff like that from company's that go belly up.??? Maybe that's the business to get into, Copywriting some of the Vintage images.
