And...
Would you stop collecting Cards, just because there are reprints and altered/trimmed cards circulating out there?
Would you stop collecting early posters, ad signs and broadsides, just because some clown from Ohio tries to reproduce and profit from them?
Would an art collector stop collecting original art, because there are fakes and reproductions passed off as authentic?
Would you stop wearing your Rolex because they sell so many fake ones in Tijuana?
Of course not! As long as you know your stuff, it's just as rewarding to collect autographs as anything else. If it's not your "cup of tea", so be it... But you shouldn't stop collecting just because some idiots out there are producing bogus items.
