Stanley Cup: How to Spot a Fake
A Guide to Avoid Scams
Look for a Clear and Crisp Logo
The real Stanley Cup has a clear and crisp logo on the front with the word "Stanley" in capital letters. The letters should be evenly spaced and the logo should be centered on the cup. Fake Stanley Cups often have a blurry or distorted logo, or the letters may be misspelled.
Check the Spelling of "Stanley"
The real Stanley Cup has the word "Stanley" spelled correctly. Fake Stanley Cups may have the word misspelled, such as "Stanly" or "Stanely".
Beware of Extremely Discounted Prices
Scammers often try to sell fake Stanley Cups at extremely discounted prices. If you see a Stanley Cup being sold for a price that is significantly lower than the market value, it is likely a fake.
Examine the Weight and Feel
The real Stanley Cup is made of metal and has a substantial weight to it. Fake Stanley Cups may be made of plastic or other lightweight materials, and they may feel flimsy.
Beware of Stanley Dupes
A Stanley dupe is a similar-looking tumbler cup or mug that claims to have similar features to that of a Stanley. However, Stanley dupes are not made by the same company as the Stanley Cup and they may not have the same quality or durability.
