For the record, it came from someone on this board who I am certain everyone would agree is completely trustworthy. Furthermore, it did not come from a foreign website that ships them into the States. If anyone wants pictures of it/ the band to verify its authenticity, I'd be happy to take some.

Which gives me an idea. What are everybody's thoughts on an authenticity verification thread? People could take pictures of what they have and others can verify whether or not they think they are authentic. Just a thought.
