In fact that's a lot of the draw towards collecting for me.If a buyer makes a few $20 mistakes or overpays $50 for a reprint they could have commissioned themselves a lot cheaper, then they learn, but I made substantially greater mistakes in the early years of my collecting career, and I suspect many of us have. SO I don't think collectors will be put off. I think they'll learn quickly enough.As for playing, anything that gets product into the hands of players I think is a good thing.Possibly the presence of reprints lowers the price of common collectables, but the rares are rare and I don't think they'll be harmed.Wait until you get high quality minty woodgrains flooding the market at $100 a pop.
