Hi everyone. No strategy post today -- this is far more serious.
If you haven't read this article, you need to. Now. http://www.starcitygames.com/article/27693_Counterfeit-Cards.html
This is a big deal. It's not an apocalypse scenario, but it is important to ALL Magic players, no matter how casual or competitive, that we beat this tide back. I encourage you all to print out those pictures and keep them with your trades consistently. I know I will.
Honestly, the most important thing you can do is go through people you trust. Your friends and your local game shop, including us at Big Ben's, are your best source. Make sure they know about this issue. Make sure they're vigilant. If you trade with someone you don't know very well, don't worry about being rude -- inspect anything you might get in a trade.
Hopefully this will pass. This game is resilient, and it's endured through tougher times. I think all of Chas Andres's suggestions are sensible. Don't sell off or panic; just be careful.
Happy (and vigilant) Planeswalking.
B-Tops
