Picture Sleeve for CHESS 1883 Nadine - counterfeit or real?
$251.11 - That's what a collector this week paid for a picture sleeve of CHESS 1883, the U.S. original single Nadine. And just for the sleeve only!
Why did this collector pay that much? Because nobody I know has ever seen this sleeve before.
There are similar looking picture sleeves for the CHESS singles following Nadine. But a PS for 1883 has been unknown.
We wonder if this sleeve truly is a genuine product. Or whether it's one of the many counterfeit picture sleeves popping up lately. Since the image on eBay looks reasonable and since the seller seems to be trusted, it may in fact be a long-lost item.
If you've been the buyer, let us know once you received it. What is your opinion?
Addition by Morten Reff:
Collectors should know that some of the US 45 picture sleeves had the titles only on one side whereas the other side had the same image and layout but no song titles. I also have one of these sleeves which has no song titles on both sides. Which would make it easy to imprint whatever you want.

1): These numbers are not in line with each other. On the cover of Promised Land, with the same cover design, They ar perfectly in line.
2): I see spots of lighter and darker ink around them. (The kind of effect you would get when you're trying to cover old print with the background color, but didn't choose the color exactly right). Doesn't prove anything I suppose,...
