Interesting.

My first reaction was that it's fake. And for the price it will probably bring, that's the sensible choice.

But thinking and checking a couple things.

I'm not sure how I'd age the tape like that. I'd have to play around with some tape for quite a while and probably not find a way. So maybe point for?

Looking at examples I can find on Google, nearly all of them have consistent differences from this one that go beyond the name box.
Then I saw this one...
http://www.goodwinandco.com/1922_Ame...-LOT30994.aspx

Which matches the one from Ebay and is graded.
So that makes me wonder... Is the Ebay one good? Or is the One in the SGC slab fake and graded. (Or put in a compromised slab? although I'd like to think that would get caught by the auction house)

I'm not sure that would be enough for me to bid.
Especially knowing there have been press printed fakes of these series around for a long time. I bought this one back in early 78. (different series, but similar enough. )
