MrMollusk - I remember the company that you got that first Bee image from. Stay away. Modern Bee decks don't have monochrome faces, but many of the counterfeits do. I was helping Bill Schildman about two years ago with tracking down people selling counterfeit Bees in my area. USPC knows that shutting down the printer will be impossible, so they're trying to target the distributors.
The NYPD has an entire unit dedicated to retail counterfeiting - it's forced a lot of shops on Canal Street to get "creative" when trying to sell knockoff watches and Coach bags. Some gave up and only sell legit goods, but it's hard to compete.
EDIT: wow, Alex - I didn't even spot that!
