It's fine. It's a Rambler's Legacy made in 1999.
 
Good day authenticators! A thrift find here. Would like confirmation, bc any J serial number makes me think twice. Measures 7x6”, I believe it’s a disco bag. Thanks so much

Sorry but the bag you got at Salvation Army is fake.
Thank you. I noticed that it is says made in US but the Plant code is P, which I have seen on authentic bags from Costa Rica. Is that a mismatch / giveaway? I imagine there is more to it and I know there is way more too it. I understand if you'd rather not divulge and help the fraudsters. Trying to learn (a little) about the obvious fakes.

Yes, that's one of the giveaways.

The bag I authenticated just after yours is an authentic one with the same prefix.
