Also the font looks wrong if you look at the"O" the centre should be more elongated not as round. |

that sticker is so totally wrong it's embarrassing imho, it has value as a JR JR but that sticker diminishes it... |

Just looking at his listing he says its 1G/JR which I think is the last time JR was used as B side so not that as early as it makes out. |

Yes nice stampers but I think it's all its money,I would also agree the sample sticker detracts from it. |

Because I think they think it will get even more money , but a real vinyl enthusiast wouldn't have done that to it. |

You could only hope to remove it without doing any damage,but that could be quite unlikely. Saying that it may have some graffiti underneath. |

that's assuming the labels were clean, i suspect it may cover up an ugly legacy, to add a sticker as fake as that to a clean label to me would certainly be madness....but hey its getting the bids.. |

Demonstrating the common misconceptions that (1) it's a 1G, therefore it was pressed first; (2) JR means it was a demo; (3) that only a few hundred were pressed, and (4) that a "Factory Sample" sticker has any real significance. They're not even first press labels. Very obviously a fake sticker; the font is wrong and the ends are cut at different angles. Bet he's got a few more of these stickers to drip-feed to the eBay gullible, too. Most eBay sellers at least use a genuine sticker (steamed-off another record) to cover up blemishes. Funny how a seller can say he's been "a collector for over 20 years" and people think "OK, that must be genuine, then". But the dimwit buyers will be happy - they wouldn't be bidding if they knew what to look for, so weasels like this - who even promise money-back guarantees - know they're safe from any comeback. And 10% to eBay too. Everybody wins! |
