Ladies 'n germs, I have an announcement to make about an eBayer who is selling of FAKE vinyl. He goes by the name of "Andre" and his eBay handle is "anfipigo."
He has a basketball vinyl up right now listed at $275. I have communicated with him over this vinyl asking him to verify it's authenticity. Please read our communications below:
Dear anfipigo,
You have a lot of Pearl Jam items I'm interested in, this is one of them. Can you please post (or personally email me) more photos of the basketball LP? I would really appreciate close-up, detailed, large images that I can examine the detail of both sides of the vinyl. I need to know for myself that this is an authentic OOP original.
Thank you for your understanding.

Dear anfipigo,
Is this actually a fake? If it is I will be forced to report it to eBay. You have to prove to me it's authentic like your description claims. There are too many people making fake memorabilia and I hope you're not one of them. Prove to me that this is an original Sony pressing and not a reproduced one please and I may proceed with bidding. I'm a big fan of this album and only want originals, not fakes. Thank you.
Best regards.

Dear evsgjamm708q,
Hi there,
I don't know how to check if it is a fake. It seems original to me.
Best Regards,
Andre

Dear anfipigo,
Read it here and you will be able to then tell me if its fake or not. This is why I specifically requested detailed images of your disc. This small article should clear this up between us pretty simply.

Dear anfipigo,
Hello,
How's it going today? After reviewing the article I sent you, have you a better idea on the authenticity of the vinyl I'm interested in?
Thanks again.

Dear evsgjamm708q,
Hi there,
As I said you before it seems legit.
Best Regards,

Dear anfipigo,
Andre,
Please, for I'm very interested in buying this, send me some much more detailed photos. I would like to see the images on the sleeve and the record much closer to examine the detail. I can spot the differences myself. Thank you kindly.

The originals I have clearly show all the tell-tale signs of a fake version. Blurred writing, faint colours, less detailed image of the band members, no semi-circular cut out on the sleeve. It's all there. Don't buy from this guy on eBay.
