The time I was fooled by a fake (and how I got my money back).

I thought you guys might enjoy this story, but a better title might be "The time I fooled myself" because, when something seems too good to be true, it likely is. I should start by saying that I collect mostly cartoon (US) animation art and not much anime (even though I love a lot of anime...
