Sorry Leon, I thought so that is why I didn't buy. I do hope you get your money back. But don't feel bad! I bought 2 D304's I needed about 6 years ago off of ebay. I had them about a year and a half and in my set. I was flipping through my set while on the can and I noticed these 2 looked different! I put a glass on them and yes, they were fakes. I had paid about $150 each for them. I couldn't even remember the ebay seller I got them from. Anyway, Scott Gaynor listed these 2 (real) a few weeks after I noticed mine were bad. If he would have known the max bid I keyed in for his 2, he could have shilled and retired!! So after 30 years of collecting, and having them in my hands, I was still fooled. The doctored reprints are getting better and better. The US Caramel Ruth fakes are now appearing w/o the white spot at the top right. The thieves are getting smarter, this is a good reason why we need grading. Ouch! did I say that?? Dan.
