<p>Hi, Eric!</p>
<p>Now that you mention it, I saw something similar when comparing it to the exemplars, that parts of it matched different years. I wasn't sure that was a bad thing at the time but taking everything into consideration it seems suspect.</p>

<p>Hi Morgane, another thing was that it seemed a mix of years (albeit close together) and very self aware. Anyone else find the placement odd? Ink dispersal/weights?</p>

<p><span>I agree. The initial single word response I rescinded was "Nope", but then looking again...those 82-86/87 hybrids I withdrew...but too many little things - I would not accept it and left it as above. I also felt it was a slick fake but that did not seem right considering it was 1980's and not my area so I removed that as well. I saw one thing leaning the wrong way, numerals seemingly convincing but also something there, some stuff looking a touch backwards and three things do not "sing" together as they should - but close. Just not close enough for AML :) Sara, no one was 'right" or "wrong" - everyone saw <em>something</em>, as you posted. I pulled myself back also from "Nope" - but then followed my gut.</span></p> I'm glad it is at least a bet…tag:live.autographmagazine.com,2019-04-09:3524372:Comment:13335532019-04-09T18:04:18.675ZMorgane Gabrielhttps://live.autographmagazine.com/profile/MorganeGabriel
<p>I'm glad it is at least a better fake as I was sort of drawn in by the numbers when I compared it to others from the 80s. Fortunately the seller and the other information around it seemed sketchy enough to be a deterrent. :)</p>

<p>It's certainly one of the better fakes I have seen - thankfully as pointed out above there are some giveaways that would prevent an AML member from being prevented from buying this, if they were in the market.</p>
<p>Then there is their history to further confirm things. Well done everyone!</p>
