wow thank you Schatti!

also: LPU1 HTEP: Discoloured Track Numbers / the circle at the back (left in the upper corner) is different

Several LPU shirts on ebay aren’t real - Just a cheapy shirt with the LPU print on (especially 1 and 2)

Erection is so discusting :smiley:

bought a fake HTEP a few month ago - since then - i always ask a collector before i buy something rare

One day You’ll know what’s fake or not, without asking a “collector” Like I said, i got those from loots, If You don’t know what does it mean use a translator or google it. Sometimes you just get whats there for you. Often people sell 2-3-4 cds and won’t sell them separately.

Ah and btw, please learn how to edit a quotation. It’s frustrating to scroll through all those picture quotes you make :expressionless: Yeah, I’m serious.

Well You still could do it without asking people. Google is your friend. You got some websites like discogs. It’s good to start in example there :wink: I remember back in the day some people just outbid eachother at a fake LPU 3.0 cd auction. The price got up to $40 :smiley:

I don’t believe there are any LPU fake shirts. I haven’t seen any proof apart from people saying a couple torn when they put them on, but i don’t think thats because they are fake or anything. The old LPU shirts aren’t worth anything over $20, i can’t see someone going to the trouble for something people aren’t going to buy.

#20

Yeah i don’t think so either, i mean shitty looking logos I do believe there may be out there. But counterfeit LPU shirts nah. I have yet too see a fake 1999 HT Shirt :stuck_out_tongue:
