That's true in some respects. Whats to stop KOers from "creating" playwear on their figures? I can see some unscrupulous sellers going to those lengths, but I hope not. Besides, you could be really lucky and get a near mint figure with little to no playwear that could be legit. All I can say is you have to be careful when buying anything off ebay. Just my opinion.
