McCoy is no fun to me anymore.  I adore pottery, but McCoy is just too 
chancey  now days.  It's past it's heyday.  I've talked to people who are 
looking for repros...same thing...they say.  I love to buy "prints" of some 
artists that I can't afford the originals...what is the difference?  They are 
framed in my home and give me pleasure daily.....and my friends don't 
ask..."Is this original"  I would never buy fake McCoy...but...who knows 
now?.....I don't want fakes....but there is too much crap out there.  I mean 
a lot of it...
I don't want to collect McCoy anymore...no fun..
just my opinion.  
Wishing all you die hard collectors the best....McCoy just got too popular 
for me.  I am off collecting other things.  McCoy got blindsided....ALAS!
