Texas Acetates On Ebay

[Stanco rules]

Just a heads up. There's a Texas seller selling fake acetates on ebay.
eBay item number:
232879676267 ( Gentlemen- Crying Shame )
Pretty convincing acetates, and he mixes them up with odd cheap ones as well. The giveaway was that he's been selling fake major label artists for a while now.

I also noticed the song titles are all missing a word. What’s up with that?

I looked it up and found 2 people selling the Gentlemen acetate. The other one is in France.
eBay item number:
263771372922
They're similar, but with one key difference.

The Texas seller is connected to a well-known seller of fake acetates allegedly from the UK & South Africa. I'm sure more than a few of you know who I'm referring to.

These guys are getting quite sophisticated. A shame to waste that skill set on fraud.

The Thursday's Children ACA acetate looks so real but is certainly fake.

It's like pressing money. If you look at his past sales, he's gotten a lot of money for major acts.

I see TWO CS acetates now. Both look totally different and not like Bosshoss real one.

Thursday's Children's "Conditioned Man" (sic) was recorded at Jones Sound Studios, not ACA. D'oh!

I hope he gets done for fraud.

I'm a member of that group. One of these days, I plan to post my best story about Doctor D.

Is that the same guy behind this one ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/388507523761 . At least it looks suspicious that it's only 1-sided .

Met him once at an ARC Show. A heavy 'Huey Meaux-esque' racketeer/pornographer' vibe...
but without that hilarious "barber chair banter" that made The Crazy Cajun so amusing. (lol)

Must be the same guy, one tell is the amount of South African pressings in his listings. I've seen people trying to resell his fakes on the FB Punk group. Really a stain on the collecting community.

Anyone buying pricey acetates these days without proper provenance or research is VERY likely to be ripped off.

The Genesis collectors stepping forward on the neg & neutral feedback.

Saw a youtube video of a Black Sabbath collector. He was showing acetates that were obvious DM fakes, including a 16" Vertigo acetate. 16"? come on, I doubt London even had a lathe that would cut 16" acetates in 1970(1).
