Counterfeit Scotty Camerons : eBay Guides

Sorry, I wished the pictures were bigger because they have text included.  But I've noticed a few Phony Scotty Camerons on E-bay, and wish to enlighten buyers on how to spot the most obvious.  The Studio Style/Studio Select are the most prevelent knock-offs here on e-bay, so here's some pointers to help you spot the "fakes".  Studio Styles: The cover's Titleist logo, the "T" is much more curved on a fake, and the aligment is usually further left.  Also look at the letters "A" and "M" the A on a fake comes to a point at the top, and is more curved on an original, and the "M" is much more straight up and down than on an authentic headcover.  Additionally the Scotty Cameron sticker "shaft band: with club details will always be under the grip (not visible when at address), unless it's a full wrap-around, of course.  The most important thing is to ask for additional photos from the seller of a Studio (SC) putter, or any suspicious Scotty, because there are many fakes on the market now, ask for detailed photos of the sole, cover, and milled face.  Also, the back will not show any signs of (milling) on the backside of a fake, it will look almost "powdery"; this is a good sign the club was never really fabricated at the "Studio".  I hope this helps buyers steer clear of counterfeit SC's.  A phony SC will sell for around 150 to 200 dollars, but is only worth about $10.00, and that's just for the scrap metal.

Headcover on right Authentic.Notice size of dots, & text difference.                

 bottom real, look at milling              

   cover on bottom real, notice the M, R, and O text.   

     probably hard to see, but blue dot is sloppy!      

Okay, some new picture additions...  one thing I can stress is always look at the "Stamps", some are so obvious, they are not straight and look like any basic stamp marks.  And Scotty Cameron's putter's heads DO NOT COME WRAPPED IN PLASTIC!!! (Only on a couple rare Japanese models).  If you are ever in doubt, check around, there are a lot of ways to put your mind at ease about fake Scotty's.  One very effective way is going to "TheCameronCollector.com"  There are also many fake headcovers, so beware! On Circle T's the "Circle"  isn't "closed", there is a gap between where the right arm of the T would meet the bottom part of circle coming around, if that makes sense.  Anyways, ALL PHOTOS BELOW ARE OF FAKE SCOTTY ITEMS!!!     

NOW THERE ARE NOW FAKE STUDIO SELECTS OUT THERE FOLKS!!! ESPECIALLY NOTICE THE SIZE OF THE WEIGHTS, SMALL=FAKE!!! GOOD LUCK E-BAYERS!  Here are some pictures of fake Studio Selects, and their fake headcovers...
