Okay. Read them for you. It was in fact just you. It was just you saying that the two reports were separate. It was just you claiming that the OP was unclear. Don't say "we all" when "we" is just you.
I would love to continue this discussion, but it seems all I'm doing at this point is inciting other people to commit infractions, and I don't want to get more people in trouble.
One of the reasons they created modern was so they CAN actually reprint stuff without being bound to the reserved list. Catering mainly to collectors is not a good mentality for marketing your new format to a broader audience.
Thank you. And besides, most of the cards that are expensive as hell in modern now were cheap (with a few exceptions) up until the format got made. Some of us sold our Vendillion Cliques when they hit $20 because there was no way they'd hit higher then that after they rotated out of standard. Then Modern is announced a few years later and BAM! suddenly you got ripped off in a way nobody could have forseen.
Limiting print runs to an extreme measure in which it doesn't actually affect print runs of the cards that you are reprinting to increase print copies of doesn't make sense. That's adding a number, then subtracting the same number.
I understand people collect this game for "value" but that's all perceived or implied value. (here's a hint, your cards are worth nothing until you sell them or use them to win tournaments. You bought a JTMS for $50? It's worth $150 now? Pop Quiz: Without winning any prize money from tournaments and just have it sitting there in a binder, how much money has it made? Answer: -$50.)

Yes I appreciate the irony of my post too.
