Dubious Labels

Hi there,

sometimes it is not enough to mark a label to be dubious only by assign one star (✩) in "verify it". In the discussion with John K. it can help to say WHY you think it is not a banana label in the comments. Is it because it is a fruit label, a knockoff, a missprint, a fake, ... ? I never thought that there are so many home made banana labels out there.

From the disuccions with John: "There are many FAKES that are real banana labels, but copyright fakes. Brands like Chico or Estrella exist for real, but there are many rip offs, especially in China, but they are still banana labels, and appear on bananas. So when I think of fakes, I think of the recent phony copies of old labels made by collectors, or even the latest Bonanza plantain fake. But a fake Trigem from China is a banana label, because it appears on bananas. Likewise many Del Monte labels, also in China."

Thank you

Michael
