Interested in how you tell the difference.

Ervin:

There are quite a few &quot;tells&quot; on the repop tags. However, the more recent tags are getting better and better, and much more difficult to identify, even for experts such as Kurt S. and Mark C.

The NCRS learned the hard way to be careful publishing tells. They have identified over 30 defects or tells on repop Corvette tags. Many members were asking for some clarification of those defects. They published 6 of the 30 plus. Within a couple months, the fake tag makers started cleaning up the repops. Those 6 tells were no longer discernable on the fake tags.

So.... although it may sound elitist and snobbish to refuse to disclose and discuss all the issues with fake tags on a public forum, that is probably the best approach. The more that is disclosed on forums such as this, the better the fakes get.
