I have never heard anyone say, "Oh look at the marvelous copy ( or copies) I just bought for my collection!"

More often I hear the following:

From experienced collectors: "Crap, this is a copy!"

From inexperienced collectors: "Crap, this is a copy?"

From buyers who might some day become collectors: "Crap, how do I tell the difference between between the originals and new copies?"

So maybe the copies are not ENTIRELY crap, but personally I would prefer that I not have to spend time & money buying and studying them so I can be sure not to buy them in the future.

In my experience, hardly any copies are sold as copies. That really is the crux of the issue.
