Ah, the dollar amount is part of the equation and always will be.

Look at thousands of buyers who purchased Mantle, Williams and DiMaggio forgeries.

Why did they purchase those forgeries for between $10.00 and $50.00? Because they thought they could flip them on Ebay for between 10-20 times their purchase price. And 99% of that crap was removed before it sold.

Absolutely no sympathy for those buyers and the OP of this thread.

Excellent post, Jeff.
