Default Yankee trunk
Hey guys,

I was going to bid on this but asked a collecting buddy as well as did some research and I am thinking it is a prop/fake. Any thoughts? I really want one of these... so cool!

listing:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:X:RTQ:US:1123


The one below I believe to be authentic as it is the same as a fellow collector's..

http://www.google.com/imgres?q=yanke...r:11,s:72,i:40

Differences: locks, handles, how it was put together, stenciling, inside of this one is wood. My friends is metal. Paint looks goo though.. too good Could it be possble that this one is real too? I lean to no... I am in the market so am looking for an expert's advise on this. Anyone...?

I saw that this morning as well. The placement of the #7 seems way too convenient to me.

It always amazes me what lengths people take to screw people; fake signatures, fake stamps on photos, doctoring an old trunks... If these people would channel their creativity for something good, maybe they would get laid.

Some folks are just allergic to an honest days work.
They seem to congregate around the fringes and in the middle of our hobby.

They prey on "dreamers" and emotion. It is a perfect venue.

It sucks, but it's rampant in the hobby. Some day you will be able to get one of those trunks tucked snugly into a giant PSA piece of plastic, and then you will know for sure that it's real.

Ohh runscott... always thinking by way of extremes. I am not looking for a psa slabbed trunk. When knowing what to look for, it is easy to spot by good pictures. You are one silly goose you
