However, I've dealt with the seller and can say that they are first class, very conservative gradings ( vg was more like mint - ). Additionally they are happy to help the buyer out by showing a nominal value for customs declarations rather than the stupid prices that we are prepared to pay.

Pete S Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 international g.t.o's apparantly, although i've never seen one Several of these had two presses (some had three), for instance, Salvadors, Anderson Bros and George Blackwell came as really good PB counterfeits, followed a couple of months later by styrene copies which wouldn't fool anyone but still had PB in the run out. I'll try and remember some more titles but it was around the time of Mel Britt, Joe Hicks etc Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest gordon russell Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) some of the americans may not be aware of the P.B boots........they are almost like fakes in the art world.........but they are boots no matter how good they look including the GTO'S.......which as you all know should have a bell sound stamped matrix ta da!! p.s there was conjecture some time ago that these P.B boots suddenly stopped and that the person responsably may have died......this being the reason for the halt in these boots Edited December 27, 2013 by gordon russell Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
