Month “Dash” Year

[ChicagoRob]

Hey all,

I got a young box in today from a trusted source. Strangely enough the box code contains a dash between month and year. This is the you test box I have so not sure if I missed something on some changes or if I should be having a conversation with my seller.

Searching different areas online I DID find 1 other person posted a new haul with a 2025 box that also included this dash.

Other than the dash everything checks out with this box. Serial, UV, bands, construction. All check out.

Has anyone else seen/experienced this?

Thanks!

I am not sure about 2025 boxes with the dash, but I have seen this on legit boxes from earlier years. I had a few boxes from 2020 with the dash and remember seeing it on others also.

This happens often and is not a sign of a fake.

Thanks for the responses guys. Strange I hadn’t received one of these boxes yet (or recall seeing one). I’m not the biggest collector but just over 100 boxes in my collection and this is the first time I’ve seen this.

Yeah, seems like I've been seeing this more and more lately. (Who knows why?) Used to happen with some of the Trinidad factories pretty commonly, if I remember correctly. Now I'm seeing it on other's boxes from a lot of other factories.
