The main difference here is the people selling them weren’t creating them. They were all bought from the estate of a man who died and he bought them as aged fakes and didn’t care. The estate sale company is selling them “as is” with low prices and no guarantees. It’s the people who purchased from that sale that are trying to sell them as originals. And my feeling was they thought (hoped) they were original at first ,but then after people like Grey and myself saw the material in person and informed them they are still trying to offer them.
