You can just about put together the entire Eliasberg collection on aliexpress. This has been your for years. And the prices are MUCH lower than the ones you show.

Lol. That's not what I meant to imply.

Those ebay listings are probably resellers from aliexpress or the suppliers on aliexpress.

Look at this - with free shipping!

I'm actually surprised there aren't even MORE fakes on the US market

You're right

Those Ali Baba sellers represent those as “copy” except for the Morgan slab. The flying eagle sellers on eBay omit that they are fakes.

Your no way dumb. Like the rest of sometimes misguided, yes. No worries 👍

I’d be tempted to purchase an example of both one of the red fake flying eagle counterfeits and one of the ones with the fake brown patina, to make an educational display that teaches how to recognize fake brown patina, but I won’t because I don’t want to reward the people making and selling them.
