From what I understand in the topic the original Pokemon card inventor is involved in this as is a renowned card grading company (knowingly or not I leave out of the question).
So if this stirs up a large controversy, it might actually make the fakes, especially the signed ones, collectibles as well. Probably never the value they first had, but I hope the wistle blower can recover some of his losses.
Yes imagine if Andy Warhol were alive and involved in selling forgeries of his own work... is it still a forgery then?
The whole point is that they were supposed to be genuine prototypes from the 90s.
Real-deal forgeries of old prototypes sounds even more exclusive than just old prototypes. They'll be worth a lot in the future.
