My theories on the forgeries
 

Posted By: <b>James Robbins</b><p>I say the best way to combat it is to inform and teach the buyers. So far I have emailed over 500 people (who were bidding on fakes) and told them about this message board. Many have stopped by. I think the best way is to educate. If there is no demand for forgeries then there will not be a supply.

Posted By: <b>Hankron</b><p>I have long advocated eduction. Sadly, however, there have always been foolish buyers and there always will be. It's not a coincidence that over a hundred years ago P.T. Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute" and, today, we are talking about people bidding in private auctions on obviously fake cards.<BR><BR>I do, however, wish (you knew this was coming) eBay would get rid of those goddamn private auctions or restrict its use for legitimate reasons only. If eBay did that one single, simple act, over half of these scam problems would clear up right away.<BR>
