If I desire the collectible, how will a fake fulfill my desire?

  I think what he's getting at is: How would you be able to verify its authenticity? A mass-produced clothing item wouldn't have telltale markers...

    That's easy in this particular case - the U.S. Marshalls are selling it, and presumably they're not lying about it. Maybe the U.S. police is that corrupt, but I think somebody would find out sooner or later (they would need to make them somewhere, a large order of custom Fyre-branded hats by the U.S. Marshalls is not an everyday thing), and that would be an obvious case of fraud then. On the other hand yeah, members of the U.S. services tried to steal the Silk road bitcoin too, so who knows.

    The assumption is that the US Marshal Services is reasonably trustworthy with the items they sell.
