I'll bow out of this, as you and I have completely different ethics about collecting and neither will change the other's mind.

There was an 'investment' thread on the main board, and I'll tell you that the best longterm investment involves buying an item that is authentic.

Authenticity is strictly a matter of fact, and not determined by today's poll or popularity contest or market value(though there often is a correlation). And, as the saying goes, the truth eventually comes out. Hobby history is full of corrections, factual revelations and continuing research-- often on these Net54 boards.
