Of course it’s understandable how most people might not know … I have reached out to other sellers before, most appreciate it but some take offense and insist they are authentic.

Once you've seen enough, these stand out like a sore thumb. I think half of the sellers know but still pedal them as vintage, while the other half simply don't sell enough to know the difference.
