<p>[QUOTE=&quot;littlehugger, post: 2185275, member: 58633&quot;]Frankly, given whats available, I am surprised the fakes are even detectable anymore.</p><p>&nbsp;Long ago, Hallmark brought out a new series of Christmas ornaments with a Star Trek theme. The original one was a small, light up Enterprise. My brother managed to get his hands on two, one of which I have.</p><p>&nbsp;But, even then, Chinese fakes came out. Now its buyer beware. Frankly, I almost never buy &quot;collectibles&quot; anymore, because its too high a price to pay for something cardboard or plastic that my kids will likely get their hands on. And, if it truly has any value, you can be sure there will be easily obtained Chinese knock-offs destroying your investments value.</p><p>&nbsp;I would be interested in a short summary of how this Morgan is fake also. Some fakes are easy. I was in the Philippines last year, and in preparation for shopping the outdoor markets, I bought a magnet. My wife wondered why. I walked up to the first booth displaying old &quot;silver&quot; pesos, and the coins practically jumped off the table onto the magnet, while the seller stared at the sky and pretended not to notice.</p><p>&nbsp; I am really not ready to give up on collecting yet, but I bet my kids will not want to chance it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
