There is definitely potential for some future owner of the card to become a victim, but that won't occur unless and until the doctoring of that card (asset) causes its market value to drop.
If I buy a nice looking T205 that looks a little narrow and may be trimmed, but I am happy with the card at the price I pay for it, I am also not a victim. This has, in fact, happened to me fairly recently.
The victimization of America................ To be a victim one must actually have something negative happen to them.

To me this is a ridiculous way of looking at it.
As long as everyone profits off something that isn't as it's claimed, it's ok?
So by extension if I get a counterfeit 20, and pass it along that's ok too.
If I paint some rocks with gold paint, and say they're gold nuggets it's fine as long as the buyer can find another sucker?
Rubbish!
