also has hidden buyer identities if you click on the bids, and is from Europe (not that there is anything wrong with that), but never seen a fake one before, but always has to be a first.
43 bids and at only $26......lots of red flags adding up to no good.

Paul,
I immediately thought it was fake when I saw it this morning.
Print quality is poor and the ticket damage looked totally contrived.
The kicker is that the seller is in the Czech Republic, which I also found pretty interesting, FWIW...

Thanks Scott, I talked with a board member here who owns an actual one and he too believed it not to be real.

Yeah the cardboard doesn't even look right. And coming from another country is adding up to be bad news.

Good seller and it's been taken down. It does look a little washed out?
