I don’t understand why anyone would make fake version of cd’s??
Just to make some money.
added the RTR and LPU11 fake from china.
What do you think about an photobucket album which contains pictures of the faked releases?
Maybe some of you can help me out with pictures so it´s easier to spot the fakes.
As soon as we have some fotos I´ll add an link in the first post.
Feel free to send me photos and links via pm

^ Basically that. It’s a really aggravating feeling, buying what you think is a rare CD, then finding out it’s a fake.

why they are not doing anything? i mean they always get super angry with fakes … why not here?[/quote]
Well eBay makes commission off of EVERY sale on there site. On CD’s usually it is 9 to 15 % on every auction depending on the auctions you choose. So they make a pretty hefty lump sum from all the sellers selling on there site. I find it despicable that they don’t act up even after so many reports of people questioning the authenticity of an item.
Real vs Fake
Hope this helps some people.
Second link is quite funny. Missed the ‘Man’ off Manufactured.
I also hope people don’t end up telling me that the copy that I say is real…is actually fake.
Message me for high res versions / if you want deets.

The dreaded “Josepph Hahn” Fake, this was the more common one like 5 years back. Nowadays there like 2 more different versions, pretty good, that it takes an experts eye to spot it out :P. And yes the Top one is Authentic.
Hello guys, I need your opinion … do you think this cd is original or a fake? everything seems ok, except for the title, which appears to be slightly shifted to the left, because the E is attached to the drawing. What do yo think? (inside eveything is perfect, also the cd’s code)

fake…colors + there should be a little gap between the circle and the E from Theory but you already noticed that…
Thank you so much, i’m a LP Collector and i know all of this but for the new people this is very useful information.
Great post…

Amazon works with different sellers, If I were you I would ask for real time pictures, you never know what you may find. But yeah the pictures of that seller is for a fake, the latest fake of course
