I think unlicensed products would lack cachet regardless of the brand. They just don’t look right, whether that’s via airbrushing or more modern methods of removing the logos, and there’s something noticeably missing and off.

It was noticeable when I was a kid collecting in the ‘80s - I can’t imagine the ‘70s were all that different.
