A lot of people will say this, but I was viewing it as a good possibility that they'd do reprints. I think everyone being vocal on here and elsewhere and raising a ruckus is to thank.
But, in the alternative, imagine if VMP started an anthology, had seriously screwed up the first package on the first record, and never done a reprint. Not only would they have they turned away what has to be 1,000 of their strongest subscribers, they also would have completely tarnished the Anthology reputation.
I'm holding out faith that they're going to get better at this. And despite the shitty Facebook group, turd of a podcast, and total lack of contests, the quality of these first two records is not terrible. It's not entirely a lost venture.
As they learn how to properly execute a project like this, though, VMP would do well to do something way less demanding and with less of a ravenous fan base. If we find out that #2 is Chess, that's going to be like waking up and deciding that because you can't play professional baseball, you'll be a professional football player instead.
