I know some of the pictures aren't too clear, so if there are any doubts, what should I request better pictures of?

TIA!

Please post all requests for authentication in the open forum and not through Private Message.
We don't mind helping out individuals once in awhile, but it's become too cumbersome to respond privately to the many requests received.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Thanks bulletproofsoul!
I was under the impression the first one (http://tinyurl.com/3kn5c5) was probably not authentic as I thought the inside serial tag is usually on the edge of a seam?

No, in classic flaps the sticker is stuck directly on the leather on the front of the bag inside near the bottom corner.

Well, it's similar to Mary-Kate's, but not identical as the seller claims. But that's not that important. The bag is authentic.

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome!

Sorry, but this is fake This particular serial number is widely used by the fakers out there. Wrong font on the authenticity card and hologram sticker, the number ones should be underlined like this: 1 and the zero's on the sticker should be slashed.
