Just seen this on ebay. Hadn't seen a Sinclair topper like this. Is it legit?

nope,all the stuff this guy sells are fantasy items.look at his other things for sale!!!!!!he also sells under many different names.

The listing stated it was original. I had looked at his other items. The listings I randomly checked did not claim to be original so he skirts around ebay's policy but this one caught my eye when I seen it say original.

I rarely respond on these questions, but thought I would today. My simplest rule is the quality of the printing. Notice on this the letters vary in thickness, and height. The es thicker than ub in tubes. The S in Sinclair below the line level. Those sorts of mistakes weren't made back in the Old Days when people had pride in Craftsmanship. This seems to be a common mistake in most fakes, and easy to spot.

Sadly (as I really like toppers) I automatically assume that 98% are fake these days. I seldom even look at them, now.
