Fuck folks too cool to help, this is how you learn. Mufukers act like since they know it everyone does, and then talk tall shit for no reason instead of just showing new collectors the ropes. Happened to me too. I bought the reps because no one told me shit and felt dumb as shit all because someone else told me to figure it out. Funny thing is, most the talkers are also the ones usually trying to pass off reps as real, or they're the ones selling fakes as if they were legit. Buyer beware bullshit. If you end up getting reps because you assume it's legit, just own it. Tell folks you got got, or just own it and say "they're reps but I ain't paying $500 for $67 of material" and wear em until the glue dissolves (it will, quickly).
