Red Man Sample?

[Tao_Moko]

Highly questionable authenticity by my eye. Gotta love that tea/coke staining that exists on so many. Agree that it's clever and can see how it would get by some folks not as knowledgeable about the issue or their reprints and perhaps tough when not in hand. Maybe it's an honest mistake by the ah. Good luck. *Sidenote - I think it's good to permanently identify pieces like this as fantasy or reprint so they don't get recirculated. A sharpie to the back with "Reprint" or something similar.

There may be exceptions, but most of the "samples" I have seen just don't say it - not specific to this issue (of which I have never seen a sample), but all issues.
I agree with prior posts, this looks like it was "made to fool" - I would think that it would be a lot less costly for them to do the right thing with you here than to incur the damage to their reputation that not doing so could/would cause dependent on how vocal you chose to be about it. They essentially offered a "fake" item amongst a slew of real ones.
