I say this because it has happened once, several years ago. An eBay seller decided to steal my designs (along with those of other card makers) and print them on a home printer for sale online. He no longer sells on eBay, and was forced to offer refunds to customers who purchased those pirated cards.

If you have a Monarch Corona card, and suspect it may be a fake, the easy way to test it is to take a cotton swab and lightly moisten it. Gently rub the tip over a portion of the card where the ink is heavy. If there is a transfer of ink to the swab, it is a fake. Home printers use water-soluble inks. A genuine card, printed on a press, will have no visible ink transfer.
