They would be if the trademark and copyright holders would enforce their property. Try and sell a fake Tiffany bracelet or Coach handbag and see how long your listing remains up. I have actually approached Topps about this issue as I have a friend who works with them through another firm. Apparently they don't care about the issue which I feel is very short-sighted. Tiffany and Coach don't profit from secondary market sales either, but they still see the value in protecting their intellectual property. If enough buyers get ripped off and leave the hobby for good, it may well affect sales of packs of brand new cards! It's why I religiously report counterfeits masquerading as reprints, not because it directly hurts me, but if it's bad for the hobby, it's bad for me on some level.
