Check on the playing surface side, along the inner circle there should be a serial number, this number should appear to be etched into the surface of the disk itself. What made you suspect it was a bootleg other than the price? If you have dealt with the seller before and have had no problems, why now?
Simply because it’e out of print and and other marketplace seller have it much more expensive. Theere certainly appears to be number -It starts with 11.1
oops
and again
Does anyone have any more tips on spotting Criterion bootlegs? I usually buy from marketplace. Now I’m paranoid.

I’ve just bought Flesh for Frankenstein from a reputable Amazon market place seller (can’t remember name but I’ve bought loads of stuff from them). The price was a very cheap £20 and I strongly suspected it was a bootleg. When I got the DVD it was sealed and the plastic wrapping seemed old as if it had been sealed for a few years. I’ve trawled the internet to find ways to identify bootlegs but can’t find much about Flesh. I’ve also seen reference to serial numbers but again nothing about Flesh for Frankenstein. Any help please?
