How can you tell if a guitar pick is real or fake? Thanks for your help!

    If it's personally handed to you or you catch it at a show

    you could take a look at Joses guitar pick thread here as a starter

    Fakes are usually fairly easy to spot. through the print quality, the sharpness, the detail, the thickness of the actual pick, the shape of the pick, and the material used.

    These are the only ones worth keeping.

    each to their own, I don't agree whatsoever with this line of thought. I love collecting picks and the only way of getting for example a 1994 pick would be to buy one, and once they arrive they certainly are worth keeping

    Fair enough. From a collectors point of view I see your point. I didn't get to see them until 05 (and that was up in the rafters) so anytime before that would have to be bought. I have caught a few pics at different shows but never PJ. A few of my friends won the lottery and I got a mike pick but it just isn't the same without the story behind it.

    I have one of Mike's from 1992. this was before customized picks. It was a turtle. It has value to me but no one else because no one is likely to believe its his.
    I know I was born and I know that I'll die. The in between is mine.
