But in your case, you were being accused guilty.

Totally wrong!

Again, no one at any point in time accused Chris of coloring the card. Everyone at SP who has bought from Chris has had excellent experiences dealing with him (including me). Of all the fake colored cards that have appeared on ebay, more times than nought the person selling it said they "purchased it from a trade show", so anyone who contacts an artist for verification is attempting to do a service for both the bidder and the honest seller.
These fake colored cards are appearing more and more as of late, and even seasoned collectors are buying them thinking they are legit.
