Am I the only one that thinks this is a cheap vinyl decal on a piece of metal?

Seller has 4 toppers listed...all have just the right amount of chipping..... Be VERY careful of these IMO

They have no "chip"s...seller states they are not porcelain....looks to me like vinyl on metal, and those "chips" are where the vinyl is cut?

"Questionable"? I'm not trying to be a smartass, but those are complete NO BRAINER fakes to me...I just wanted to see if I was alone in the vinyl aspect of it...they're are about 10 miles past "questionable" IMO.

Any more I think all toppers with that shape\design are fake. I had a Prest O Lite topper shaped like that that was fake\fantasy. His Indy car topper looked good until I compared it to one Roadrelics has for sale. I'm with Dennis on these. Buyer beware!
