My guess is they just can reprint smaller numbers that way and keep their overhead down.I think it's a crime to charge $12 for what amounts to Xerox paper though I know if someone wants it bad enough they'll be happier with that than buying on Ebay.

My pet peeve. That's why I end up buying lots of designs when I visit a LNS that was framed 'examples' then you can truly see what you are going to stitch. I've also bout a couple of PS reprints - as you said extremely low quality paper but much better than paying $25-$30 for a chart!

Had the same experience with the flimsy reprint and was very surprised.
