He did offer to give me the same price if I took the fakes. So I do trust him there, I just felt disappointed for one and thought maybe I can do better. Unfortunately, I live in a small town, so all of the dealers are in the city. Finding time to get there and balancing work and family is easier said than done.
Looking at the pictures you posted, the 14 D looks funny, and the S on the 31 looks different; so my best guess from the pictures, they look altered.
My condolences and nice collection I have no input on value however my advice would be to keep them as they increase in value over time. Thanks, Jacob
