Hey

Does anyone know if this is a real, or knock off pick ??

The color looks off to me.

    always hard to say as the picture the seller provides can be different from the one pictured on the auction item. The seller is a reputable one but that is way too much $ and the world is flooded with tons of EV EK Fake picks. If you must acquire it, I would make sure you let the seller know that there are many fakes out there and you just want to confirm you can return it for a full refund etc

    I'd guess fake just based on the fact that the graphics seem so far away from the edge on both sides. Reputable seller, but I've gotten fakes from him too, so even reputable sellers are getting duped these days.

    I say fake too. I have the same one that I got from an Ed solo show and the graphics on mine are very clear and sharp. If you zoom in on the ebay one you can see how jagged the edges are and the interior blue field is very pixelated.

    thanks guys. I thought it might be a fake.

    There are many reputable people here who collect picks. I would post an ISO and I bet you can snag a legit version of that pick here for less money too.
