There must be a disconnect with some people and dealers over the intelligence of the community.

For example, when I see a reproduction on a dealers site. I will not buy there. I believe most collectors are the same.

However, if you point out to the dealer and even give citation as to proof it is a fantasy or reproduction, the seller still argues.

I have found it is best just to expose these sellers to my friends and fellow collectors.

After the new book from Russia where the fakes and fantasies are listed as originals. I am seeing more and more fakes on major delaers sites.

So, on day there are fakes and then because of a un researched book, they are all originals?

Give me a break. And these are the leaders of the hobby.
