I agree 'stache, I am not in the hobby to collect fakes either. I have seen the phrase "stewards of the hobby" in these board a few times. I don't want anything but the "real" thing in the hobby. I want to do the right thing all the time. If that means acquiring a fake/counterfeit card (cheaply) along the way to educate a young card collector, I will. My daughter and son are to the age of learning to and interested in collecting, it is nice to have both real and fakes to show them first hand. It is also nice to have them to show the stubborn novice collector (which I know a few) that the card they swear is real is actually worthless.
I thank all the different views on this issue, keep'm coming!
