More of a rant than a question or productive contribution to the thread...Sorry.

I'd consider this a productive contribution
Can you give an example of a faked pin(s)? I don't think forgery pins are a huge problem in baseball. There
IS one guy on ebay (pinzplus) who sells reproductions but he is up front about it. Now, if one of his repros then gets pawned off as authentic to someone else, that's another story...
