[QUOTE="USS656, post: 3246388, member: 6641"]Kurt - Here is a line you can search in google: LA Times "Did you buy a signed Tom Clancy on EBay? Um . . ." I was the guy that bought the copy they refer to. I had a copy of Patriot Games Tom signed for me in person about 22 years earlier that I used as a reference when I bought this book. I was contacted by the DOJ right after they arrested him to confirm my copy had a forged autograph. The guy only did a few months after scamming people out of over $300K. I reached out to Tom Clancy through multiple sources and could never get the book resigned by him prior to him passing. :( Out of the 1000 copies printed though I have a somewhat unique story that goes with mine. What I was more referring to though when I made that comment is that people that make collectibles usually make them to demand or they make just enough to create a rare collectible market. As long as someone is willing to buy, there is going to be a someone willing to make them. IMO: Proving someone can create a toned coin to look like a NT coin is not going to disrupt the market all that much.
