Moral of the story part 2 ...
never hesitate on purchasing an affordable BL'ed item.
1. they actually go away
2. when kept MISB, they're better than any reissue.
The carded bootlegs have to be inspected carefully. Make sure the card is flat. When kept in Chinese storage, cards tend to warp. As crazy as this sounds, purchasing a BL during their colder season (aka now) is much better than buying during the summer. The heat and humidity isn't there to wreck the cardboard.
That's why most of the bootlegged cassette cards (first seen 11/05) are perfectly straight, and the Seasprays (first seen 04/05) aren't.
warped card
completely flat
