realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 03/20/2014 11:26 pm If you were doing a cast, wouldn't you make sure to build in the reverse side protrusion? It's like they only worked it into the observe, not the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Also how come these sellers who sell fakes always have 100% feedback There must be alot of collectors out there who know nothing about what they collect. yours michael Report this Post to the Staff
