It was supposed to reach an Illinois man who said he was planning on selling them on an auction website. They said it&#039;s the &quot;first&quot; shipment like this they&#039;ve found... looks like the US goverment is wayyyyy behind... this has been going on for a while now.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Even though they caught this 1 box, who knows if another 100 got through in other states. Two steps forward for counterfeiters finding a wholesale market in the US, zero steps forward for the US and the collecting community.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
