    Whats even worse is the idiots who buy obvious $1.5 fakes from Ali for $60 from this seller and then leave positive feedbacks.

    It'll be a cold day in hell (or the Vikings win the Super Bowl) before I weigh in on a counterfeit/legitimate thread and be (very likely deservedly) chastised by more knowledgeable CT members. So, while I (and certainly many others) are learning, would some of you please help us and point out key indicators? Yes, I am aware of the argument that it might only help the counterfeiters. With that in mind, something would be helpful. Or, if you have the time and inclination, a PM would be appreciated.

    The adage, "learn the series before you collect", would be the key here. A quick glance at the date is all I needed. Wrong font and it's in the wrong place.
