Evan bought a Blade Runner insert from him, going into it he knew the chances it could be minty white, but took the gamble.
End result was indeed minty, and he got a refund. However, the Music Man declared its authenticity all the way.
Apologies if I am overstepping here, Evan, just want to list that info for the good of the group...feel free to expand on your experience, of course.
(I have bought from him before, the stuff I was getting I knew was legit beforehand, it was all good).
When Dan/Bob first brought these to the attention of MOPO, he was (and apparently still is) one of the staunchest defenders of the Minty Whites originality. There are too many other places to spend my money.
