Great sharing of information, Samosa4u. I especially like to see fakes and counterfeits to help my own authenticating. I also like the impossibility of completing the set. That makes it challenging.

Yes, there are counterfeits out there, so one must be very careful when purchasing an ungraded example.

One of the best ways to educate yourself is by purchasing commons and then examining them under magnification. Pay close attention to the print spots and colors. After you have done this, there is no one who will be able to fool you!

I have attached a counterfeit to this message. You will notice that it looks different. There is someone on eBay.co.uk who is trying to sell one.
