It's fine.

The bag is authentic and although Entrupy got it right this time, they don't have a great record so it's always a good idea to verify that items are authentic.

I don't see what you're complaining about with the handles but they appear to be the originals that came with the bag.

for some of the drawstring type bags, they used creeds like that. A full pocket would have interfered with the gathering of the top of the bag when it closed.
 
May I have an opinion on this one please. (I have my own opinion.)

Were there multiple stamps?

I think it is fine.
 
Thanks, Hyacinth! It was $25 and after I put in a bid it went up to $55. Ah well.

That's because people from "other" sites and Facebook pages watch this site for deals and steals.

If you see something really amazing and know that you can return it for a full refund if it turns out to be fake, buy first and hold off on posting it here until you know without a doubt that it's on its way to you. Or although we're not supposed to do it, try PM'ing me and just ask a "hypothetical what if...?" for my opinion. Otherwise someone else can outbid you or even make an offer to the seller to buy it privately for a higher price.

Sleazy? Sure it is. But some people are sleazebags.

I swear, sometimes I think the 2000 "D" plant must have had 20 of the bloody things! You can look at a dozen creed and serial combos and find a dozen differences. They may have even been using an older creed stamp and the new updatede one at the same time. I'm pretty sure that they had at least 2 serial stamps and that the old one was was a basket case and kept getting bits replaced.

One thing that I haven't seen before though is that off-center underscore in the "No". Unless the stamp itself was damaged I don't even know how that could have happened.

Maybe someone who's owned one of that particular style could look at the construction details of the bag? The only thing I'm comfortable calling it is Questionable.

ETA - I didn't notice that Whateve had already weighed in. I'll go with her opinion about this style, she's owned them and I haven't.
