I thought that someone would make the comparison of snakes and reptiles to those who sell bogus stuff  .
I can recall my most flagrant incident at a National. I was walking the room and at a booth and the next booth was exhibiting items from one of the most notorious forgers still in operation. The customer at that booth asked the person behind the counter if he had any Ruth cuts. The guy reached down and pulled out an envelope scattering the contents on the showcase in front of him. He dumped out at least 20 little pieces of paper. As I leaned in a bit I could see that they were all cuts with "Babe Ruth" so called autographs on them. The customer actually started to inspect them.
