[QUOTE="Caswellbot, post: 433096, member: 1960"] For what's it's worth it seems to me that there is a separate issue from whether Jeff made them or not which we all know is going to be virtually impossible to prove. I will however refer to my previous point which one or two others have touched upon and can't be ignored: "Am I right in thinking that the "hand painted" kenner baggie of which a pic was posted in this thread as well as the red stickers meccano baggies are meant to have been sold by Jeff? If so, one thing I would seriously question is how someone who has a thousand baggies and has been collecting them for so long isn't able to spot the blatant fakes that have been posted on this thread. Especially if they have other examples they can use for comparison?? I'm not suggesting that those in question were made by Jeff personally but if he did sell them and didn't spot they were fake, he is either completely naive (which I fail to believe given his past dealings in the world of baggies ) or he knowingly turned a blind eye." People are getting very hung up on the public outing of this and evidence around whether he physically faked them himself and ignoring this important point. If he turned a blind eye to this even or chanced his arm knowing they might have been fake then thats almost as bad as making them. The person selling the fake Ralph Lauren at the local market is as bad in my eyes as the folks making them. To suggest that Jeff was naive to the extent that he didn't know some of these ones he sold were fake or at least highly suspect seems pretty ludicrous. Well to me at least. [/QUOTE]
