Yes, and the creators of these objects (and 'replica' cards, etc.) are well aware of the object's future.

I realized a long time ago that in this hobby you can't protect the idiots, and time spent in such endeavors could be used doing things that are more fun and less frustrating. We can; however, educate people in our own forum. At least the people who visit here are making an effort to collect 'smart' and if they make mistakes, it's not for lack of resources. I can't remember too many times where a regular poster here showed an item like this that he had bought thinking he had the real thing.
