Did you realize that there is a person listed in the classifieds 
section at 
mccoypottery.com wanting to find a supplier of McCoy 
reproductions?  This 
person is listed as Antique Peddler, so certainly sounds as though 
they 
mean to sell any they can find.  Isn't it a bit hypocritical to 
suggest 
that others clean up their act if we aren't attempting to stop 
this flood 
of reproductions in our own backyard?  Maybe no one in authority 
has yet 
noticed this ad, but I hope that something can now be done about 
it.  Beth
