watch out for these ebay listings. i think the 98's are a fake - the same as ones that were being sold in a flea market up in Canada.

    How do we know that you aren't just trying to keep people from bidding on them so you can get them for cheap?

    any individual is free to do what they want. i just have a bad feeling about these listings. if i am wrong, i apologize to the seller. there are posts on blackredyellow and expressobeans (see below) about certain 96/98 posters.

    if anybody here wants the flollowing posters at a really cheap price PM me. I found someone who makes coppies here and they are pretty damn good. I bought a few for myself to compair and I'm not one bit disapointed. This is what he has:

    Istanbul 96
    Portugal 96
    Prague 96 (looks a little blurry but not bad)
    Rome 96 (Sutton)
    Cork (ireland) 96
    Boston 98
    Vegas 98
    Adelaide 98
    Indy 98
    virgin promo 98
    Raleigh 98

    he said he's working on a few others as well. He's selling them for $40 a piece. So if anyone wants any let me know and I can place an order for you. I'm just tring to help those who can't afford these high priced posters.

    here's an example: my original vs fake you tell me which is real

    the 98 posters will go for a high price. i surely will not be bidding on them if i think they are fake. as i said, just a warning for everyone. bud/buy if you want.

    ive heard of a few 1998 fakes before, documented cases were hartford and another one.....so shitty that its come to this.

    okay check it out....this is the raleigh

    and here is the ebay one

    open both those up and look at the legit one. the flower on the top hat. you can see a yellow dot in the middle with black surrounding and the petals go into the background a little bit. no switch to the ebay one, no yellow dot in middle and looks like it overlaps more.


    if anybody wants these and is gonna pay big bucks, just get A LOT of pics sent to you detailing everything and be careful. i bought a van 98 and would be devistated if it turned out fake, but it was bought before all these scares.

    anyways, good luck

    There is one statement that leads to a fake in the auction for the Raleigh. "Printed on Thinner Stock".

    Proceed with caution.

    I'd like to know for sure what the deal is with these, too, since I may bid on one.

    Hmm, I have a Raleigh 1998 and from what I remember, it wasn't on thin stock. I have it framed now, so I can't know for sure right now.

    raleigh is not on thin stock, and has a reflective, sparkly quality to the light blue. sort of like the blue on the new klausen vedder batman....

    and good eye on the flower thing.


    make sure you caveat your emptor, people


    ebay isn't evil people are

    may or may not be important, but since the authenticity is being questioned with this seller's posters - look at Noblesville. he lists "real deal." its just words, but he didn't choose to describe the other two posters as such. instead, on raleigh (as sokur picked up), he lists "printed on thinner stock than usual." so this fool knows he's selling fakes.

    I actually wrote Armyfan23 about his posters and here's what he wrote back:

    "jeez, i didn't know i sparked that sort of interest. I can only say what i know. the raleigh poster is definitely on thinner stock than that of the other 2 i am selling. i purchased all on ebay, for far more than they are going for now, I certainly hope i didn't get rooked. I own over 30 posters, and this is the thinnest stock if that helps. I will take any pix that will help you assess better. thanks and i hope i helped a little at least."
