Prim knows a fake when she sees one

Episode Description from the Publisher

There is a particular light in late July that makes everything look finer than it really is, and Prim does not trust it for a moment. This week is about the fake, in every form it takes in American Mahjong. A stunning white and gold set is making the rounds online with a jaw-dropping price, and the room cannot agree whether it is real, a knockoff, or an image a machine simply dreamed up. Prim has thoughts. She also has the three tests a genuine vintage set can never fail, a proper introduction to a man who reads old tiles like books, and the story of the very first Mahjong counterfeit, which is nearly a hundred years old. Prim knows a fake when she sees one. By now, so do you.
