Indeed they were selling fakes, but most if not all were obviously bogus and shoddy. The shroud is neither of these things. Until a method by which it could have been made is revealed, it is premature to dismiss it as a fake.

Radio Carbon dating dates it to the 1300s just coincidently a time when the 'phony relics' buisness was at its peak good enough to prove its a fake to me.

I'd agree. It's a real 14th century artifact.

While I personally beleive the shroud to be real. There is a method by which it could have been faked. the method also produces an image that just lies on the surface of the fibers and makes a negative effect as well.
