Great discussion as many have made excellent points. As a newbie to vintage card collecting, counterfeiting, trimming, altering etc... are all a concern to me. I have read and researched these issues long and hard before making my first purchases and have done my best to determine which sellers appear to be "honest". It does appear that many make purchases on eBay, and high $$$ purchases at that, without doing any due dilligence, and then wonder why they got taken? Sure eBay can make improvements, but people need to educate themselves...ignorance is no excuse in my opinion.

If anyone can point me in the direction of materials regarding determining counterfeit/altered vintage cards, I would greatly appreciate it. I am also willing to pony up a few $$$ for anyone's write-up's, pamphlets, guides, etc...that they may have put together. Davidcycleback, I would be interested in purchasing your booklet if still available. Thanks.
