Hi guys, been thinking of gettin me a PB. Been looking around O stores, so i kindda know now how the authentics look like. But just learned that there should be an A on the stems. That i gotta check again. So is it safe to say that if there are no letter "A"'s on each stem , they're fakes?

Oh, and what colors were released for the pb2?

Yes I would say that is a sure fire indicator to tell fakes. Unless they have 'sales sample' printed on the frame. Then they won't have the A.

They made polished black, matte black and rootbeer colored frames.

Thanks man. Was there a matt & silver plating frame combo like the PB1? Hope i can get a good deal.

Yes that is the matte black colorway I mentioned. There are plenty of deals going on ebay for pb2.

Why is the "A" so difficult to fake?

I've never seen a good PB2 fake. Why bother faking them, anyway...? Oakley is just about giving them away... $150 on woot ruins any minimal collector pedigree.... Just my $0.02

If you're truly collecting, stick with PB1.
