Can you enlighten the rest of us? I have no skin in the game nor a 70 442, but just outta curiosity. No bids at $3,000

There's experts on here that can verify, but 7040258 carbs are all "RK" pick codes.
**I had the date wrong, referencing another fake that was on there with a 3509 date**

maybe he saw your post............

It's a restamp. As Vader stated, the code on real deal carbs is RK. In addition, the font on the 8 isn't close to matching the 8s on real carbs. Interestingly, the build date of 2659 is a known 7040258 build date.
