Ok, lets say WotC opted to remove the reserved list. (Yay Homelands reprints! I mean...)
Now obviously, the biggest thing to get into people's hands would be the Power Nine and the ABUR Duals. They COULD put them in a Reserved Masters set, but let's try something different.
From the Vault Sets. One would be the Power Nine, one would be the Duals. New borders, new art, foils. Large, but limited Print Run.
1.) What should the print run size be of each set to get the cards into people's hands, but not flood the market?
2.) What would such a printing do to the value of the originals?
3.) Would such a product actually help Vintage/Legacy's survivability?
4.) What should each pack cost MSRP? $100? $200?
5.) Slight Twist: This is a special "One time only" print run and after these sets are printed, they will NEVER be printed again (kinda a limited reprieve from the RL, rather than a straight abolishment). Does that change your answers to 1-4?
It doesn't matter. Players wouldn't get any. From the vault would be the absolute worst decision ever. I'd rather more cards ADDED to the reserved list then a from the vault that contains needed reprints.
FTV: P9 makes no sense on numerous levels. I think it would be one of the dumbest decisions that Wizards could ever make.
If they do kill the Reserve List, the smartest course of action they could take is something like a paper version of Vintage Masters, with the P9 being even rarer than mythic rare, something like the rarity of a mythic rare foil or an expedition, and the foil P9 being half as rare as that. I'm a huge fan of abolishing the RL, but a FTV: P9 would be pretty ridiculous and insulting to the collectors.

4.) About $20,000 or more. Authentic foil Power 9 are hard to come by. Shoot, I would say they are near impossible to come by. Putting that many sets on the market would start a stampede. Stores would likely need to higher armed security to prevent robbery.

RIP Batman guy. I hope somebody picks up the slack now that you are gone. Sick children need their Batman.
The reserved list is going to go away no matter what thanks to being time limited. Honestly, it's got to be getting close to expiring at this point since they had that introduced back when they first moved to modern borders?
The bigger issue is that while they could do reprints of original cards, the game has changed so much that many of the cards would be neigh unplayable today. Cards have gotten stronger over all as the years have rolled along.

2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!

I've never heard that there was an expiration date, every single thing I have heard since the introduction of the Reserved List was that it was for eternity. Do you have some sort of confirmation that there was a phase out plan involved?

Authentic foil Power 9 doesn't exist in paper. The first set to have foil cards in booster packs was Urza's Legacy.

I know. That is why I said near impossible. It was actually a joke. I've been playing since you could buy Unlimited on the shelves though I was too poor a 13 year old to buy those packs.

Not unless Wizards decided to start seriously supporting the formats again.
