I believe it is fake.

I agree, it's definitely fake. The font for the serial number is wrong, and so is the wording of the creed. It's not a 1994 H plant bag which never would have had silver-color hardware nor would it have been made in China. The wording of the creed is also wrong. And it's not a 2004 serial with an incomplete year code because the H plant had been closed for years by that time. There are other problems with the bag's construction but those are the most important ones.

Item: Whiplash Tatum Tote
Listing number: 223454887723
Seller: kgladybug

Authenticate please! I did ask for (and received) photos of the creed and little white model number tag, but of course can’t figure out how to copy/paste them here (hooray for new phones...). I’m not seeing anything in those photos or the listing that makes me skeptical, but would appreciate a more knowledgeable opinion. Thanks!

Bumping, let me know if you need more info, thanks!

I saw your post but with 2 of the 5 pictures in the listing being (stolen) stock images and the other pictures not being adequate for an authentication, I couldn't help.

Please refer to the first post on the first page of the thread for the pictures we need.

It looks good.

I've never understood why sellers don't show enough pictures in the listing to both help buyers make educated purchased but also, to add credibility to their own listings by showing that they're willing and able to show the item they have in their possession!

If you buy it, you might offer the seller constructive criticism (and advice for better listings) by suggesting she take advantage of up to 12 pictures that ebay allows her to upload to her listings free of charge! Plus, it saves buyers from having to request them and the seller from having to keep responding to questions from buyers.

JMHO.
