] ARLINGTON, Va. -- The Pentagon's "most wanted" playing cards
] are turning into the hottest collector's item since Beanie
] Babies, but with an ugly twist: unscrupulous sellers are
] offering "real" cards that were never produced by the
] U.S. government.
]
] Meanwhile, Pentagon officials say, those decks that have
] been printed — fewer than 200, total — are still sitting
] at U.S. Central Command headquarters, waiting for
] distribution to selected troops in Iraq.
 . . .
] Less than a week since the public learned about the playing
] cards, sellers have burst out of the woodwork, ready and eager
] to offer “the real thing” to gullible buyers.

I'd still be willing to buy a "copy" deck, if I could find a reputable seller... I have genuine concerns though that most of the sellers out there are offering an item that they have neither the original *nor* a copy of.
