Super Freak
I am not playing Criswell on the $1,000 price drop. I pointed out there was a $1,000 drop from the one I sold vs. the one that sold for $1,675.00 which was in China or Korea(where most of the re-casting gets done). But if the re-casting doesnt stop, and no one cares...it will affect the demand...because folks wont want to risk laying out major dough on an item that might be bogus.
I love Mike Hill's stuff. I have been collecting this stuff for 25 years. I would love to say that fakes wont hurt the hobby. But I would be kidding myself, having seen it happen way to much in other areas of collecting.....I couldve held onto the busts had I wanted to. But having any major amount of money in something that could lose some of its heat and turn into an albatross scared the crap out of me. The busts wouldve been fine here with the rest of my stuff...but the fakes (as I said) scared me off.
You and me both!
