    If it really has a promo stamp as advertised thats pretty much irrefutable evidence of its OG-ness.

    That's a lot for that record, OG or not, sealed or not!

    The power of "sealed" is quite amazing.

    The seller has feedback the speaks for itself. And PayPal's got the buyer covered.

    I thought so, too - until Popsike convinced me otherwise.

    yeah, ultimately its gotta be legit, theres no evidence agasinst it, and the seller looks pro. But that pic just weirded me out. the cardboard looks exactly like slick modern glossy white cardboard, ya know?

    Well, the sheen off the shrinkwrap does look allow it to appear a tad elastic. But it's not a perfect photo.

    not really, the buyer has to prove it is not original..."the smell test" and "it aint got no brown cardboard inside" will not appease the paypal powers.

    I once had a buyer dispute the authenticity of a bootleg John Lennon LP..he claimed it was a pirated version of a "bootleg"(he was fully aware he was bidding on a bootleg), thus not a "real" bootleg...paypal didnt give him anything...

    If it's a sealed original the price is pretty standard - it would be subject to "SEALED RECORD LAW" and (more to the point) it would have a NM insert.
