That thing looks more fake than Tom Cruise's heterosexuality. Look at the way the white around the star cutout doesn't appear to be the result of being used as a stencil. It looks like it was applied for effect like make-up. And TinMan is right about the sig.

Re: Questionable
seems like most that include a bio of the artist in their description are covering for some sort of counterfeit scam or inflated price

So what is with "the glove" thing then? Cannot believe that someone would go through the trouble to cut the stencil (both for the star and to mimic the fish scale pattern) and do it on cardboard that requires an explanation. By the way, the signature seems off only in the "S" and I may have seen authentic stuff that was worse.
Re: Questionable
I asked the seller yesterday if they could send me a better pic of the signature. We'll see, so far nothing yet.

Not sure who exactly you are referring to? The second auction is fake. I'm sure the first is too, I was just hoping for a better look at the sig.

I've seen worse sigs on official releases...

Re: Obey-Confirmed Fake: BEWARE (Was: Questionable)
and many bids were placed by the same zero bidder in various auctions including the vinyl and mcgee pieces
lacking the white highlights that the other bottles have i found this piece questionable

where as this buyer got the real mcgee instead of the real mccoy
