You'll need a little sandpaper and some salad oil to properly age the label,
I should think.

That does it. I'm pulling out an old dot matrix printer from my
collection and an Apple //e. I'm then going to design a label that looks
just like the one on the disk in that auction and print a bunch up. Then
I'm going to figure out how to make it aged a little (or why even
bother...I'll just say its in "excellent condition"). I will then sell
these disks on ebay every other week.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
