Fake Copics (?)
Hello everyone. I ordered some Copic Sketch markers off eBay a few weeks back, set 72A. I know I know, you shouldn’t buy them from eBay, blah blah blah, but the only reason I took the chance this time was bc this particular seller had many good reviews on the markers already and there’s no way I’d ever be able to justify paying over $400 for each 72 set of markers (I am collecting each of the 72 sets over time.) Anyway, the markers arrived in about a week and a half after being shipped from South Korea, and I tested them and every single marker has worked. They color beautifully, this is my first set so if they weren’t legit I wouldn’t really have any way to know, and from what I see on paper they seem genuine. The only reason I have doubts is because my sister recently bought the 72C from the same seller, and when I compared the two in their cases side by side I noticed that the packaging is slightly different. The 72C has very square corners, and the 72A has rounded corners. Is this normal? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just am really hoping I didn’t buy two sets of illegitimate look alike markers from this seller, if those even exist? Here is a picture for reference. (The 72A did come with a label btw I just removed it from the packaging)
