Of course this is a cookie cutter, mass-produced B&J Collectibles / Operation Bullpen style fake. Experienced collectors have memorized the look of this style and they stick out like a sore thumb once you know them.

I put together this little graphic to show just a few of the tell-tale signs of this style. Click to enlarge.

Very nice graphic, Mr. Zipper.

Very well done.

Something tells me we won't be hearing from Richard again.  He has been exposed twice. Once was not enough, I guess.

I agree, Terrier.

I do believe that Mr. Cyrkin's find was the finishing touch.

He was crushed. He won't be back.
