Why would you pay that much for a stupid prop anyway?  ¯\(º_o)/¯

"Spiner recognized the visor as the one that had been sold by Christie's and told Moustakis that it wasn't the real deal. The actual visor had been sold by the actor himself some time ago." I think is pretty good proof they are not real.

I'm a pretty avid Star Trek fan, but I would never pay thousands of dollars for memorabilia or props. People who do are just asking for trouble.

That said, I agree with Missa. If the man who wore the thing himself easily could tell it wasn't real, I'd say that's pretty damn good evidence.

Word - especially not some lame poker visor.  How many times did Data even wear the stupid thing?  It's not like it was part of his regular wardrobe.
