Goddesses of Coach Authentication - Would you please do your magic for the following?

Seller: MacBabe29
I have a request in for a better picture of the creed

I'm a bit mushy eyed over this one....
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coach-Derby-bag-British-tan-Rare-and-HTF/113875666879?_trkparms=aid=111001&algo=REC.SEED&ao=1&asc=20160908105057&meid=0e8d7ad1d95e4c928801104c119dbcfe&pid=100675&rk=7&rkt=15&sd=143377891573&itm=113875666879&pmt=0&noa=1&pg=2481888&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci:b9b39b4a-d7ec-11e9-b870-74dbd1807131|parentrq:3656fe1b16d0aa18f15aac04ffade61b|iid:1

The first one is FAKE. The creed is almost illegible but I can just barely see the last 3 digits of the serial number as -534. The spacing between some of the words is HUGE. Both are red flags but I'm familiar with the Daria48 Fake Coach Numbers List and one of the "always fake" numbers is 0974-534. Those fakes also have extremely wide spacing in the creed and just like in this one, the creeds have a MULTITUDE of misspellings and punctuation mistakes. Just a few examples - it says "scar" instead of "scars" and "wbinkles" and "marXings"instead of "wrinkles" and "markings". It also misspells "glove" as "glovF". The second and third mistakes looks like they may have actually been scratched off by one of its sellers.

Here are photos of the creed in the fake Murphy from seller macbabe29 and of two other 0974-534 fake creeds:

The second listing is genuine and from a tPF member.

Thank you @Hyacinth.
She didn't sent very clear photos when I asked for a better one of the creed....so I wondered.
I'm still learning. One day I want to be as skilled as you ;)

I didn't think she would so it doesn't surprise me. As I've said many times here, I'm a natural-born cynic. :biggrin:

Hopefully the listing from seller MacBabe29 will Poof quickly.

ETA - That was fast - it's already gone.

EETA - And it's NOT the first time the seller has been mentioned here!

She apparently doesn't make any effort to authenticate her listings so this might be one of our candidates for the Instant Back Button.

Well, now we know! I'm instantly suspicious when i can't make out a clear creed. I know the spacing indicates question - however I'd rather check to be safe than sorry (I learned that the minute someone brought what I thought was an authentic and what ended up being a fake casino bag to my attention)
Thank YOU again for doing what you do!

My father bought a box full of tool bags at a garage sale and this little light blue bag was in the mix of the old tool bags. He says he will sell it to me for a chocolate frosted doughnut and not tell my mother, told him I had to get the bag authenticated first :lol: And no..... even if it is real, no doughnut since he’s a diabetic...

Sounds like you're going to have to find a substitute for that donut.

It's a genuine Ergo Mini Satchel made in 1997. :smile:
