Why would anyone go through the pains of forgery to create a copy of an original in their possession? Just sell the original if you're in or for quick money, show off your original (and sell clean copies) if you're out for status.

you could sell the thing twice: you sell the original to a collector, and the copy to another collector.

you can sell forgeries every once in a while, and keep original for yourself
