[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 86055, member: 55"][I]Also let me suggest that-all fakes- may actually be komokwa as that's who wrote the ebay "advice" on recognizing fakes [/I] We have both written ebay advice on recognizing fakes. (three guides for Komokwa, 12 for me, though more people have viewed his than mine.) I can't think of any easy way to prove that we are different people, any more than I can think of a way for you to prove that you are not one of the sellers of fakes, rather than an actual buyer. And Komokwa is referring to the number of [U]pictures[/U] of fakes he has accumulated, not the number of fakes. [U]Show us your mask[/U], calm down, and engage in an adult conversation about how to tell whether it is fake or not. Many collectors have been fooled by fakes; it is often part of the learning process, and it is no disgrace to learn that way. But you can't learn anything if you are not willing to have an open mind about the possibility of fakery.[/QUOTE]
