The reality is is that there will always be people who will be duped into buying fakes. You and your opinions are not saving these idiots from this fate.
lifeochil - interesting view ... not sure I agree with lack of evidence as to what is fake or not. True in some cases, but certainly not all.
I think research is the key and adhering to the maxim 'if in doubt leave it out' Another Maxim 'A man's opinion is only as good as his information' applies, and of course a third mantra 'Research, research, research' - only an idiot would enter this field of collecting in a serious manner and spend the type of funds required without doing a long, long, long, apprenticeship. Of course there will be those who are caught out and the best any forum or publication can do is to provide as 'authoritative' guidance as possible - Mike
