There is no doubt that the tsunami of fakes on eBay in the past 6 months has watered down supply and suppressed pricing on authentic exemplars.

That said, fakes on books are few and far between. I suspect it also has something to do with books becoming less of a desirable medium. It seems that today's collectors prioritize flats and balls with everything else a distant second.

I like signed books.
