Yes another public announcement oddsnendz01 is on eBay again selling fake picks, even if you don't mind having a fake pick once you buy a fake pick from this guy you're just helping him to keep scamming more and more fans.

Let me know if someone is tired of this announcements and I'll stop

    I have spoken with the seller, he is always avoiding sending actual pictures of the picks, he is always traveling and don't have access to the picks "yet", plus not even pearl jam has the amount of picks he has sell over and over and over. BUT you can go ahead a buy from him and arrive to your own conclusions, I'm no expert, I'm just a pick aficionado.

    Not planning on buying from him. I've already got 2-3 picks from each band member. I was just curious to see what the fake ones he is selling look like.

    How do they look like? well to those who have never own a real pick it may look fine, but the material used is not the same as the material used on the PJ picks and the print is not the same quality, I used to own a couple of fakes and the feel and look is close but you can noticed there's something off.

    So it would be pretty obvious to spot a fake, especially if you have an authentic one to compare it to?

    There are some good copies out there and you will need someone who knows. A LOT of people doesn't pay enough attention to the little details. "What If the copy is good enough, what's the harm?" you're giving away money to an unscrupulous person who is stealing $$$ from innocent fans.

    This thread made me remember the pick I caught from Mike at the West Memphis 3 benefit show in Boston in 2004. No idea where the hell it went though. (It was the yellow palm tree one)

    People will make fakes of anything it seems.

    man, if this guy sells the same one fake pick a week for $40+, he's making an easy $2k a year with $10 worth of plastic. Don't buy from this seller as he's at it..again!

    I bought an Eddie Vedder Evel Knievel pick over a year ago on the bay.

    I was and still am a newbie when it comes to picks.

    Can someone tell me if mine is fake?
