Hey all, been following the board for a little bit now. I recently reorganized my basement and hung some of my old decks, then I kind of got the bug to buy a couple more.
I’ve been looking at some PP boards on EBay (Cab, Welinder, Ripper) and may pull the trigger and buy one. Before I do though, wanted to ask if there was any fool proof (or obvious) way to tell if it’s original. I know many of the reissues I’ve seen say Reissue on the board but do they all? And I’m just guessing but is it only originals that listed the year in Roman numerals? That’s definetly how it was on the PP boards I had in the late 80s.
Thanks for any info!

So to the SOC stuff that Biebs said.
Don’t forget mismatching top graphics with era correct bottom ones(like dragon logo on a Hawk Claw).
And another giveaway is the modern tails are curved from the air lam procedure as opposed to the old kicks....which just kicked up.
Finally, the fake stains....are the rails painted with a fake stain?
