[QUOTE="Frunkstar, post: 490893, member: 314"] It's down to us the collectors as sadly none of the grading companies or most bodies like ebay /some FB groups or the law of the land are interested or seem to care much if at all. I have to agree with what TheJabbaWookie has written above (sad state of affairs), I have found many many collectors would rather stay quiet & not come forward whith these kind of issues, bury their heads in the sand & hope for the best, also scurry off to try to get a refund rather than coming forward & making others aware of the volume in many of the scams & fakes that are out there with ever increasing frequency, this only compounds the issue & helps the fakers & scammers propagate their dilution of the hobby, the only way to make a significant impact on the negative situation(s) we face in the hobby these days is to show a united front & make folks publicly aware when we know of an issue or think there maybe foul play at hand, I also know doing so comes at a cost,often a high cost, but IMO doing nothing comes at a much greater cost & not just a monetary one & I for one try my utmost to stay true to the hobbies integrity as well as my self regardless of the cost. I have voted do nothing :lol: :lol: [/QUOTE]
