I have not seen many "fakes" in lesser conditions (with the exception of 52 T Mantles, etc) or lower dollar amount cards. Most all of the fakes I have seen have a price point starting north of 4 figures. As mentioned, if considering the purchase of higher $ card, research, research, research, as the sellers of the fakes prey on the uninformed.
