There is also another small blue packet that I'm trying to get by Maria Schenkl's. Hard to find though.

Note anything about these packets ? Well if you look you probably won't cotton on, but the fold is on the left hand side (obvious now eh) and we all know this is a trait synonymous of the 'famous' left fold, unmarked fake. I'll show a scan for Matt below.

In regards to the numerous Carl Foster packets they are genuine, a good friend of mine viewed them before even one Detlev's pickers came across them. I too have also held them and have no reason for any concern about these packets.



Here is the most famous fake packet, which still catches out some of our members from time to time (it did me at first....twice) and some even believe them genuine....still!! Their money and their collection.
