The only forgeries...
...anyone has to worry about are the ones that can be detected.
While even the best forgeries have the propensity to harm the hobby in a variety of ways, threads like this, which purport to (and do) educate, have their own damaging effect on the hobby in that they have the ability to disgust collectors so much that they might choose a different hobby.
What's worse -- a truly undetectable forgery; or a thread about how the cards we currently own might not be what we think they are?
Just something worth thinking about. If you could push a button and 50% of the cards in your collection would suddenly be worthless while the other 50% of the cards would be 100% guaranteed unaltered, would you push it?
