It is spreading like unchecked venereal disease. Granted, these fakes may originate in China or whereever, but once sold to an unsuspecting US collector, they many times get put back into Ebay circulation and thusly you will be buying fakes from other domestic ebayers. This mess is going to eventually destroy what we now have on Ebay. Collecting is again going to take a tremendous setback from such activity, as overgrading many times caused, in years now long passed.
