if it has xx7 its never gunna be questioned as to wether its a real sandman...

i know it sucks but it is a reality of collectors and dollars..
I have to agree here guys, with an XX7 stamped plate there is no need to look any further and no doubt (as long as chassis and tags numbers agree) about originality. Of course the other Sandman identifing factors in many cases satisfy owners/buyers of authentisity, but an XX7 stamp says Sandman... I believe that that this may have a bearing upon value if the prices soar (as I believe they will) in the future. If the Sandman's took a similar path as the GT's in value (probably since I've sold mine), collector and enthusiasts would be looking for and hold more value in the XX7 stamp.
