Please always upload a picture of the bottom. This seems to be printed.

Peter the items I will list are all advertised items for sale and so can only upload the pictures the seller has provided
Unfortunatly in many cases they don't include the base.

If the seller does not show the base, this can only have two reasons:
1. He/she does not know their stuff (those who do know that the base is important)
2. They are hiding something (a new or fake bottom)
In either case it is wise to stay away.

This is just a general statement, not relating to a specific seller.
