Telling Real from Repro...

[Bronxboykev]

The answer sometimes is Integrity I guess

I have to tell you it really is hard to tell real from repro without looking under the Microscope so to say...

I give to you the Kent twins... One with a real head, body and Shoes only... The other All original... They are I phone photos so forgive me for the quality, but you can see what I'm saying.

The hat and glasses are spot on, and without markings who's to say... The shirts the ties the fabrics... even the color of the suits...

How did that Sesame Street lesson go...
One of these things is not like the other...
One of these things just doesn't belong...
If one of these things is not like the other someone tell me if it is so.

I can't tell them apart... Look the same to me. I am sure alot of pros on the board could, but I would not know the difference....

I would guess the one on the right is original (based off of the fit of the clothes)... but you're right. They're very close.

I think the one on the right is original

First of all, iPhones take better pictures than that!!! Spend $.99 and get the camera plus app. Second of all, sell both because Classic Television Toys and Doc MEGO have changed vintage collecting forever.

Can't afford the App with everything I spend here lol

And yes the one on the right is the real deal.

The pants are to short for the one on the left.

Gee, that's exactly what I was thinking. Anyone have a vintage Amazing Fantasy featuring the first appearance of Spiderman. This has been reproduced so I think $100 cash should cover it. I'll also take a first issue of Superman as well if you have one to spare. Please sell them to me! I collect multiples to compare condition and variations. No one could really want them if they can have a crispy new repro now would they. Send 'em over.

Laugh now!

Before the CTVT Clark Kent sweeps the nation!

He's lying. He has an unmarked storage unit in Sausalito.

LOL... On the right side looks original to me. Did you win it on ebay or other Auction?

The bellbottoms were a dead giveaway for me.
