Last summer I sold my SP Authentic auto rookies of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
I've regretted it every day since.
However, I found a guy on the bay who does custom work ... I sent him the scans of the LeBron and Wade, front and back, and asked if he could just crank out some "reprints," basically, of my cards using my original scans.
I paid him $5 each.
I got them back in the mail, and even though it's obviously not the real deal, it is so close that it literally feels like I have them back.
And actually, the corners on the reprints are razor sharp, and the glossy finish on both sides really makes the colors pop ... so in that sense, they're actually nicer than the originals.
I may send him my Sidney Crosby Young Guns and the Bryce Harper Bowman auto I traded a couple of months ago.
Yes, support the counterfiters who will flood the market with unliscensed fakes. You can call them reprints all you want, does this person stamp these cards with the word reprint? I am willing to bet NO. Counterfiets are a big reason people will not enter into this hobby and supporting a counterfieter is just as bad as supporting a pack searcher, IMO.
