I say fake, and primarily b/c the date window and font looks off as well as the paint on the red hand.

Never seen a Triplock and large crown on pepsi GMT before so that should be the biggest clue.

red paint stops short, has been seen in rare cases, but I'd not bet my money on that was the case here - fake's way moew likely :-(

Saw it on Ebay.
Is there anyway to combat this? Seems like Ebay would have certification measures for such items. I know that seems like a tall order. WP |
