Fake patches - rogue655 - 08-11-2011
After seeing more and more auctions this morning with patches that are most likely fake i decided to see what kinda trouble these losers go through to switch these patches and guess what.... it took about 3 minutes and no effort at all. So be careful when you searching the bay, its easier than you think.
This is the original... i took tweezers and got the swatch out in about 30 seconds

then i inserted this nice little tag to make it a true 1 of 1! It took a minute or two trim it to fit right and this is the final result! (i didnt glue it down because i NEVER INTEND ON SELLING OR TRADING THIS. it was just an experiment) As you can see there is NO damage to the swatch window and no signs of tampering.

WOW, no wonder why these people do it so often. Sad thing is if you threw that on ebay it would prob sell 5x its normal SV, too many collectors don't realize their fake.

You know Thomas Jones is a Chief I'm thinking I may need to confiscate that for PC purposes I'm just sayin

its a shame... they make a lot of money just taking advantage of people.
wish there was a way to prevent the swatches from being removed..
