    Ok. First purchase of older raw pandas on the bay. the buyer had 100% positive feedback but with a low 200 score. I got them at little less than market value so a bit skeptical.

    From what I can tell they look real by comparing them to my other pandas. but the packaging is a bit off.

    NEED advice of you experts. can take more pics on request.

    Thanks!


    2000 Frosted Panda

    Looks good. nose is not black.

    They look OK, but you're right, the packaging on the 2000 isn't right.

    The 2000 is fine, same as the one i got from Chris, same packaging. I don't have a 1999 to compare.

    the 2000 looks good to me as far as I can tell.

    its the 1999 that I'm a bit worried about. the top rim of the coin. has a little few specs of a bad strike. but all the detail is their!

    Yep, they both look legit to me... this is one of my 2000Frosted bears... you can see it has the Shenzen Guobao type of packaging...
