Hmmm. I also bought other stuff from her (he?) and it was as stated.

BUT, there is a helluva big difference in these decals. Original is not repro, water slide is not peel-and-stick. If I wanted to, I could order a huge pile of repro decals and advertise them on eBay as NOS original and, despite cautions from knowledgeable folks, sell them at a $10 profit each over and over again.. I then would also be a minor crook or con artist or liar, take your pick.
