Original ones are quite unique and extremely hard to find-Burbachs has a REAL one on e bag right now-then there a few "NOS" ones that are actually repos 6356193-nospentastar.jpg (123 downloads)

The painted repops are pretty easy to identify. <dumb question>Is there a way to distinguish the originals from the foil plated repops?</dumb question>

The far left is an NOS, the middle one os the foil reproduction, and the far fright is the painted reproduction. Once you see them side by side, it's quite easy to recognize and original, even from the front. 6365143-star1.jpg (261 downloads)

(see picture) he said he had taken a box full of them when they shut down. he got tired of moving them around and threw the whole box away a couple of years ago.he only saved a couple. 7598590-Picture1146.jpg (91 downloads)
