Ninja Warriors | 95 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Not sure about these, but they just do not look correct to me. Any thoughts?

Tanooki | 5,193 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 The style of box card stock looks accurate right down to the age fraying of the edges where it starts to split by the layer. What looks fake to you?

Hammerfestus | 4,184 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 That looks fine.  Those flaps/cardboard are legit.  Also The wear on the outside looks like I’d expect too.   I saw that snow bros.  Lighting sucks.

Tanooki | 5,193 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 That Bonk is fine, there isn't a code on either flap, they're just black. I've been going over paid listing elsewhere, none of them seem to show it I can see images of the flap.

DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) I've had several of these pass through my hands and these look legit. The colors look a bit off, so I suspect the seller used some kind of auto-HDR or auto color correction on his phone camera. The whites are definitely too white, but that happens with that type of image alteration As others have mentioned, the fraying on the edges looks appropriate and is tough to fake. If you're still concerned, I'd ask for closeup pics of the tabs and see if the box codes are appropriate color and visibility. If you need comparison pics to a legit box, DM me.
