Counterfeit D'Addarios Herman? Every D'Addario string set I've bought (AU, but local distro imported from the US), without exception regardless singles sold in a retail cardboard sleeve, 10 sets in a cardboard box or 5 sets in a promo tin, the individual string sets within [u]always[/u] come enclosed in heat sealed grey plastic bag with a serial number and scannable QR authenticity verification with a replacement guarantee, as counterfeiting of their product is rife. See images below (my pix) of regular D' Addario packaging.
10 set bulk box of the above, my favoured purchase volume.
