That's only the beginning of what's off about it.

The pics aren't great, but the printing on the ends and sides looks a bit blurry. Aside from registration problems which are usually clear, the printing should be solid and have really clean edges. Plus, looking at the end panel- the end panel is slightly yellowed but the back isn't?? Maybe if it sat on a shelf for several years, but then the back should have some shelf wear and it has none whatsoever.

Second is the window edges. Originals were die cut, and should show a bit of rounding from outside to inside on the edges. The reprint looks scissor cut with unevenness and the cardboard pushed from the inside to the outside.

Nice try, and a decent decorative display piece for $5-10. But not 1500.
