[QUOTE="jayums, post: 519294, member: 7190"] The print quality should be apparent in hand. I wouldn’t say the repro versions of these are poor exactly, but they obviously don’t have the clarity and crispness of the real thing in hand. The repro copies made of this have ‘reproduced by replicator boxes’ printed on both the top and bottom flaps in large text. In my experience the repro boxes also have a very distinct (freshly printed!) smell that is totally different to authentic boxes !! Go on, give it a good sniff :lol: Yes there’s a lack of tape but on the other hand the sticker and damage on the top add more credence. if you were going to go to the trouble of faking that you would probably go to the trouble of faking at least some tape damage?! The price you paid is also a really good indicator I would imagine! I can’t say I’ve seen one that looks that good before so it wouldn’t (shouldn’t?!) have been cheap. Anyhoo it looks in great condition, so I hope it is the real deal - if so it is a lovely example. Let us know either way ! [/QUOTE]
