kinda similar to the repaired bottles. all is fine as long as everyone knows what the deal is.but as was stated before, not everyone is ethical and after it passes thru a few hands who's toknow??in the world of sports memorabilia, many items are either authenticated, graded or both. won't be long till this hobby is in a similar situation IMHO. jim

Coins, stamps, autographs etc, etc. are all true and your right, if you can fake it it will be faked.Or, "if you build it, they will come". [

Sadly, I feel you are right. The bottle collecting hobby has NOT needed "experts" to authenticate most things, and it will be a real shame when it comes to that. And our present experts are not up to the task, either. It will require some real cynics to deal with some of this stuff. Jim G

Over $200 and rising.

I'm still not seeing that ink as anything more than some blue stain, not blue glass. At over $150 now someone is getting the screw up the backside I think.

Pity. it's already up over $30 and there's no way that's an original color, nor did it get that from sitting out in the sun, not with the label on it. Jim G

We could always buy one, then leave negative feedback explaining the irradiation.

That is exactly what I did .

no negative feedback shows up on his feedback...everyone who reads these post try the "report item" in the listing then follow instructions, maybe if enough they will shut him down. Again if he disclosed its color was unatural (fake) I wouldnt have a issue with it

Seems he has had several cones with Bixby labels recently... You got to wonder...

More irradiation.
