<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3578107, member: 76194&quot;]Origin is important.

Even the best methods of forgery available can be detected. It may take more than simple intuition to spot the top 1-2% of fakes on the marketplace, but it can be done.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, make sure you separate the fakes from the genuine and label them as fakes. You don&#039;t want your family accidentally trying to sell them as genuine when you pass away</p><p><br /></p><p>And for Pete&#039;s sake, quit buying from eBay. eBay alone is responsible for helping to fuel 60-70% of the counterfeits in our hobby. My message to newbies is always &quot;stay the hell away from eBay.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
