Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 09:03 am Numerous listings of this sort on ebay right now from this seller, here's a quick sampling, descriptions do state "reproduction" for whatever mitigation that merits. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RP-8-REALES...ht_633wt_916 http://www.ebay.com/itm/RP-8-REALES...ht_633wt_916 http://www.ebay.com/itm/RP-8-REALES...ht_346wt_916 Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

diatonix Valued Member Norway 89 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 5:05 pm Problem is, no collector with a minimum of self-esteem would waste even this relatively small amount of money for pieces of junk like these. Chances are that once they have changed hands they will undergo a miraculous metamorphosis, be declared authentic and offered again on ebay with a starting price of a coupla hundred $.

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 6:18 pm I absolutely concur with the point diatonix makes and have myself said here before - ebay is the main retail conduit whereby these forgeries (which, without being stamped "copy" are simply that and not reproductions) are unleashed out of China upon the wider world, with somebody later on being truly cheated. Numismat touched on another aspect of this situation, that the "merchantile website that cannot be named" (NYSE ticker symbol BABA) shares a lot of the blame as a prime agent in enabling the initial wholesale distribution of this junk.
