Interesting! Thanks for posting those. Yes, Ebay's always been loaded with all types of fake Pepsi labels. (Coke too). Makes it hard to find real ones. When I'm out antiquing I'm always saying "Wish I could find a bunch of NOS ones sometime!"

Yea there was a seller on ebay (probably many now!) that would buy real labels (beer) and then copy them and stick them on bottles, rough them up bit, stain them with coffee and such and pass them off as real. I have no problem buying NOS so long as I get good photos up front.
