drawing the line?

I don't collect this set but think they're all beautiful regardless of condition. One question here from a novice though: when buying raw, is it easier to fake a card when pieces are missing or its roughed up to the point that details are hard to spot anyway?

I envy you guys that have the skills to tell a fake from a real card, especially from nothing but an eBay photo. Definitely not a skill I have.

It just takes time to acquire the experience to tell good from bad. Most fakes and reprints have dead giveaways to render an opinion.

To the original question, yes, our cards are driven by dollars. The better the card, the more the demand, the higher the price. As for what to accept in your collection. It is up to you.
