fake!? looks brand new, rather than almost 30yrs old. the price is also too good to be true. hopefully somebody can elaborate better. obviously not the same cake at the top picture as on those bellow.

+1 on this. Looks like 2 different cakes.

They are clearly two different cakes, yes.

The one that looks newer is a 7572, which is a shou (ripe/cooked).

But the auction appears to be claiming an '88 sheng.

The vendor may have mixed up photos, but there's way too many red flags on that one....

Get some 1980s puerh samples from Tea Classico if you want to try something older.
