[QUOTE="TK-7785, post: 491435, member: 8868"] Thanks, guys. So the implication here is that this might be a Jeff Special? Let's suppose it is for a moment. What mystifies me about it having been possibly put together is the fully sealed nature of the box. Now I know sealed doesn't guarantee anything in this day an age. Thing can be resealed with new tape or even old tape with carefully applied new adhesive, but the nature of the tape on this particular box is very dry and crispy and shows no evidence to me of having been tapered with. The way the tape lines up perfectly (including under magnification) with the staining on the box and there is absolutely no tackiness to the tape or box. I also paid around £35 for it, which even if it were an empty box, flyer and a minty 4-LOM not in a baggie that wouldn't be a bad price. All that said I'd like to get to the bottom of this one. It certainly doesn't owe me much, so I'm not gonna be in denial if it's fake. It'll be a lesson learned if it is suspicious. To summarise then, are you saying this is a legit baggie type but not one ever recorded as being in a mailer? Or is this a known faked baggie? If so are there any tell tales I can look for?
