Collecting in the Age of Misinformation: How to Spot Fake Facts

🎯 In a world of misinformation, your collectibles deserve the facts.

From questionable eBay listings to embellished forum stories, misinformation has infiltrated the world of collecting—and it’s becoming harder to separate fact from fabrication. Whether you’re dealing in vintage toys, rare cards, historical memorabilia, or pop culture gems, the risk of falling for fake facts is higher than ever.

🧩 The Rise of Misinformation in Collectibles

With the surge in digital collecting platforms and social media communities, information spreads fast—but not all of it is true. Misleading details about an item’s origin, exaggerated rarity, or falsely attributed ownership can quickly inflate prices and damage trust.

Collectors now face a minefield of:

  • 🔍 Falsified provenance
     
  • 💰 Overhyped rarity
     
  • 📸 Misleading photos or AI-generated edits
     
  • 🧾 Fake COAs (Certificates of Authenticity)
     

And the consequences? Financial losses, shattered trust, and misinformed community discussions.
