N29 Original or Reprint?

[teza11]

Over the past week a seller on eBay sold two N29's (Fogarty & Ryan) that I believe are modern day reprints. Two immediate red flags for me; 1) the cardstock is not white, and 2) the backside print is black ink. I contacted the seller and advised of such. He wanted to debate the situation and let the listings run. The listings sold for $165 and $260 respectively. Am I missing something or are buyers that uninformed?

100% fake. Fuzzy image and tan stock.

I was the buyer. The moment they arrived I could smell a counterfeit. Feel free to message the seller. He clearly knew and is trying to pull wool. I filed within 3 days with ebay, but the truth is that this guy needs to be kicked off of ebay.

I have the Fogarty up against a Real N29. It is clear the the size, font color and paper stock is off. It even fluoresces under black light (But has had some kind of treatment) The seller is being really reluctant to grant a refund. I appreciate it for anybody who lets him know that this is a crime.

Sorry you got burned. He knew what he was doing. I don't see any way around filing a counterfeit claim through eBay. Good luck!

I have the mailing address and hopefully some members on here can let him have it.
