GMT black inserts..How to spot fake ones?
Hi
I’m looking for a black GMt insert, preferably a fat font one, but although I’m getting better at spotting fake Pepsis, I have no clue, despite the occasional obvious hooked 2s, how to spot a fake fat font Black insert... The fonts vary a lot, some are more or less serif, etc. For example, is one of those 2 legit? If so, which one is older? I would think the first one is real as I saw one that looked exactly like it recently sold in minutes by a known seller...No idea about the second one... Is there a post here doing a recap on those inserts like there is for pepsi ones? Thanks! Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk |

Thanks!
I read that post and found it very interesting! But it seems that since 2016, the aftermarket inserts greatly improved and fake ones don’t always have an obvious hooked 2 anymore... Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk |
