@mike With WotC happy to have currently in print cards that are so rare that they are hundreds of dollars (Oracle of the Alpha) I have trouble being 100% against proxies.

I think there are some limits to what should be done, and always ensure that proxies you use aren't likely to become fakes. (A line that is crossed when someone acquires the card thinking it is real)

Yes I completely agree about the fakes issue. No reason IMO not to have a false card back on every proxy. We shouldn't be in the business of duping people, and conversely no one should be forced to pay more than they're able to for a card game piece.
