Young Gun Reprints

Why the heck, if its an UD reprint, dont they simply state the YEAR on the back of the card the reprint was made?

That would eliminate all confusion wouldnt it?

Well said! Is it that UD wanna trick people?!

They're not UD reprints. It's shady people trying to pull a fast one on people.

Really?! These have nothing to do w/ UD ?! You mean it's like back in the day, when some dishonest people were making fake rookie cards of Roy, Lemieux, Gretzky, etc., in order to rip off the collectors...

I was not aware those counterfeited cards were still around... They look harder to fake nowadays. They're not like the vintage ones... I mean, the cards now have so many "features", foil, refractor effects, etc., whatever u wanna call it. Thus to me, they really look much more harder to reproduce. It still takes dishonest people obviously, but they must be so "skillful", in a bad way.

Are they legit reprints or bootlegs??

From what people say on here, looks like they're bootlegs...

They are 100% COUNTERFEITS.

Nobody who fakes cards now would sell them as counterfeit so they call them reprints when they are in fact not. A reprint is something done by the legitimate company and outside of vintage I can't really think of modern cards they would want to "reprint". It doesn't even make sense.

The quality of the fakes now is better than before and they hit any card in any sport that is very valuable that can be easily duplicated. Basketball gets hit the hardest but it happens to all sports now and even stuff like Pokemon. eBay is usually good about it but they still get by some people because of the reprint confusion. They aren't reprints. It would be like calling a fake dollar a reprint. No it is a counterfeit but people know to stay away from counterfeits. Now like I said eBay is somewhat good at protecting buyers but this garbage mostly comes from the trash website etsy.com. They allow people to sell things on that website that gets pulled from eBay. So now you have to watch what you are buying at card shows, flea markets, etc because ESTY is a piece of garbage. I really don't know why a website like that is allowed to sell so many fakes. It would go out of business if they weren't allowed to sell fakes.
