I can understand why some people would make these comments about reseals if it's something they don't want in their collection, although I feel it's each to their own as long as nobody's trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes.
I have no problem with reseals and agree with the comment about the pleasure there is to be had putting these things back together. I'm sure all of us with reseals in our collections would love sealed copies but we either can't stretch to the cost of them now a days or maybe can't even find them available. I really just wanted to get a small piece of my childhood back and after first buying a few reproductions years ago when I started collecting, realised pretty quickly that I didn't want to go down that route......that said though I still do have a few very high quality ones of rare (ish) pieces I'll never be able to afford.
I do have a few that maybe could fool an untrained eye into thinking they're sealed and can see if I ever sold them on that someone could take advantage so I guess that's the issue for some people. I certainly would never knowingly do this though and these items are really just for me to enjoy and not something I ever really plan on selling.
With all that said I think it's just good that we all enjoy looking at our collections, no matter what condition and as long as we're not coning anyone then it's all harmless fun!
