Taken in a mirror to show both sides at once.
Now, I don't have extensive knowledge about picks but I do know that the rat logo was a mid-90's era design and the standard "EV" in white wasn't adopted until the mid-00's.
To my knowledge, Ed only has two picks with the Rat on them. The hand written "EV" with the drawing of the light bulb and the Monkeywrench/Tomahawk on it. Also, the circle around the Rat is much thicker in the fake than on the real ones (IMO anyways).
Hope this helps some people out. The easier it is to identify fakes, the less chance there is to have them in circulation.

I think it might also be time to update the database. Might be tough to do with all the old picks and lack of resources, but it would be nice to organize all the picks by band member/year/design and then also include fakes (Boldly labeled of course) and indicate what makes them fake.
Posting real ones is great but it's posting the fake ones that will help people the most. In my opinion anyways.

True, I'll try to post all my picks and some people could fill the gaps in my collection.

Just say the word and I'll get started. I don't want to step on anyone's toes though so if there is an objection to this, I have no problem just letting it be.
