It's an out and out counterfeit. Have to admit, I sold mine for £150 but I said I'd never said it's my all time favourite NS record but when this guy offered me £150 for a £5 pressing, I thought I'd be mad not to take it. I would want £100 for it now myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TattooDave 3,063 Posted November 5, 2014 You can't use those words on ebay as your listing gets deleted I had the same problem with some prototype Corgi's, took me ages to figure out how to describe the bloody things, all I wanted to do was sell them quick.

TattooDave 3,063 Posted November 5, 2014 If they weren't real Corgi's would 'Mongrel' have not covered it??? They were Corgi's, but didn't go into production, came out of the factory as one off pre-production prototypes, all from the 60's. Had 30+of them, bought them for £10 each, cheapest one sold for over £300 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Corol 247 Posted November 5, 2014 So how much for an original these days if the boot is into three figures? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Lane 3,116 Posted November 5, 2014 So how much for an original these days if the boot is into three figures? Well.....depends how good the pedigree is, but £300 for a genuine Corgi is not that bad really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sammy seaman 296 Posted November 5, 2014 what would an issue be worth?had one in my hand about 6months ago,i`d only seen demos before that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete S 15,516 Posted November 5, 2014 ok..........what's the difference for us mere mortals to spot Pete??? :g: For a start, it's on vinyl, there may be original vinyl demos but every copy I've had has been styrene, the counterfeit has some light bubbling in the run off, kind of pitted marks, also the print definition isn't as sharp as it should be on the counterfeit.

Pete S 15,516 Posted November 5, 2014 what would an issue be worth?had one in my hand about 6months ago,i`d only seen demos before that I didn't think it existed until I someone sent me a scan about 12 years back, I think Tim Brown has it....got to be 2 to 3 grand?

Pete Eccles 970 Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) On the counterfeit matrix number the 6 and the 2 are both looped with tails whereas on the original the 6 is more like a 'b' and the 2 is more like erm.....a 2, I think there is more than one 2 or 6 Edited November 5, 2014 by Pete60 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ernie Andrews 603 Posted November 5, 2014 Sold my boot on here about 4 months ago for £60 The story is that a box of them was dumped on purpose on the East coast of the US to fool everyone that they were legit! Put me right if you know different! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Foran 483 Posted November 5, 2014 I didn't think it existed until I someone sent me a scan about 12 years back, I think Tim Brown has it....got to be 2 to 3 grand? Also another issue was up for grabs from Oz ( I think) about 3 years back. Went for over £3k. I missed it. Got a demo myself. I think the run out groove is wider on the boot as well.
