Having lived in Asia for decades, counterfeits are everywhere, and as you know China dominates in this category. In fact, there is generally a 1-10 scale given on how good the fake is. China fakes everything and has really started to increase their fakes on sportscards and Pokeman, etc especially with the way the collectibles market is today. Most likely, the flood of these fakes into the US has just begun.
Whenever I am in China, I only buy from very few suppliers, include grocery stores I go to. This is a country that has fake lettuce, fake eggs, fake contact lens solution, fake cars, fake iphones etc etc. Not only do they fake the iphone, but there are also fake Apple stores which can be extremely difficult to tell if its one of the high quality fakes. The fakes that are very high quality, even the experts cannot tell the difference between what is real and not real.
