So defintly a topic I know well on this, been a publisher of Farm9706phan for 9 years on a large scale publication. awhile back my supplier of materials to print sent me pictures of original Farm and knock off there are two OBVIOUS things to look for if you have had one there real mags, font is everything!!!!!! The font on real mags is tiny and tons of mandated script on it, knock offs are so obvious font is heavy, bold and very minimal, about half the content as the real!! another thing is labeling real is clean and lined up, consitant, cheaper knock off are wonky and clearly not lined up as the sticker wraps around and meets. Anyway just make sure there are TONS floating around here anyway
