Thanx Yann...I agree with a lot of what you 
said...

BUT...

I really think people here need to hear it from 
the horses' mouth so to speak.  Even after they 
may hear something they don't wanna hear...They 
may just keep on doing what they want too.  So, 
hopefully getting the companies speaking directly 
to us will help clear up some of the pointless 
flame wars on here ;P.

As far as the whole tricking someone into buying 
a fake cel thing...

Yeah...It's gonna happen...Heck...It's even 
happened to me...But...You know what?  Sometimes 
we need a kick in the teeth to get us headed in 
the right direction^^'.  I mean...No sensible 
person is gonna buy "THE MOST INCREDIBLE AUCTION 
FOR THE REAL MONA LISA!!!!" without checking into 
it.  I check all my resources, and rely on my 
experience when I buy anything.  EVEN IF I were 
a "newbie" to cel collecting...I would first have 
some knowledge about what I'm buying...Just like 
anything in life...If I'm unfamiliar with 
it...The best thing to do...is to....FAMILIARIZE 
yourself with it.  I really can't say i feel 
sorry for people who get duped...I don't even 
feel sorry for myself...I should have done my 
homework.

I consider myself a seasoned cel vet...And every 
fancel I've seen...I KNOW it's a fancel.  And if 
the newbies do their homework...So will they.  If 
it's just some person out there who sees a fancel 
and thinks cool...i want that...and blindly buys 
it...Then that's his own problem...He should have 
done his homework.  But...If any fancel is listed 
up for sale anywhere as an original...No one 
should be subjected to that, and steps should be 
taken to take care of the problem...And...If one 
happens to slip by...then...it's the buyers fault 
=(.

There are some incredible reproductions out 
there, but our community catches these things and 
brings it to everyone's attention if it's trying 
to be sold as real.  Things get taken care of 
around here.  We still have so caring human 
beings left on this board ;).

So, hopefully we'll get more answers from AIC 
here soon on the link I posted earlier.  Already, 
some good points are being made on that board.
