Yeah 65s have been trending down lately with 66s trending up so pending which grade you are looking at you can put off buying a 65 for a while or buy a 66 ASAP.

The fake bag's were easy to pick ,what i remember , they were made out of modern day smooth paper , not a pulp looking paper , if that make sense lol, and the colour was wrong .

Correctly speaking that batch of fakes were made from modern looking paper, nothing to stop another* from having a go at perfecting the fakes. Unlike fake coins there isn't even the risk of conviction for counterfeiting currency.
* with 1.3 billion Chinamen I'm sure there must be a few who have the skills to make fake paper (they invented paper in the first place)
