I mentioned to the seller that it was a reseal and maybe to change the description as it was misleading. They replied... 'Hi Thank you for your comments. The previous owner got that one from main poch collector. It is the original boubble and figure. There were the side you mention they...

Absolutely guys and as mentiuoned before I would only sell them ungraded to those I knew well and trusted. For others it would have to be the graded way and this is the only reason I would want to graded an item as, personally, I'm not into graded figures.

:lol: For me, there is always a limit... I hope. :?

Absolutely. TIG is a great place for resources, the guides are well put together for sure.

...shame about the price, lol... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-STAR-WARS-BOBA-FETT-VINTAGE-21-BACK-MOC-AFA-90-NM-STUNNING-EXAMPLE-C9/163658928754?hash=item261ad51272:g:Q6AAAOSw24hcvAyS

Very true and good point. Everytime I have ever sold a VC Jawa, whether it be a Kenner or a Toltoys one, I have nearly always got them graded first for peace of mind for both ends. The ones I didn't get graded I sold to people I knew. Thank you for your input Ian, really appreciated. :)

I had a thought just a little while ago as I was viewing a VC Jawa on eBay. It stated it was all original but I had my doubts so I suggested to the seller that if they were 100% sure it was genuine then to maybe put in the description that if sent to AFA or UKG and refused because of...

Nice spot Chris and thank you for pointing it out.

PM sent. :)

Absolutely. He's quoted what I wrote to him which was spot on. I stated eBay needed more honest sellers like him. :wink:

All good... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Repro-FAKE-Vintage-Star-Wars-ESB-R2-D2-Sensorscope-Figure-On-Card-1982/254196994022?hash=item3b2f524fe6:g:YwQAAOSw~6Fcrmpq

I replied thanking him for his honesty and to relist it as a recarded figure adding what I had mentoned in short and not to chuck it away as there will be someone willing to buy it.

Fair play to the guy. :)

'sell'

Oh it just gets better (and should have spotted this first off)... no 4-lom offer sticker on the front, lol!

Also, having a closer look at the R2 itself it's even got nice clean shiny new fake decals, lol. :roll: If anyone see's this please report it as 'Copyright and trademark/Counterfeit item or authenticity disclaimer/Counterfeit, fake, or replica items'. Hopefully if enough people report it...

Personally, I have never cracked or broken any of mine, quite strong, even after being crushed. So at a guess (and it is only a guess) I would say it's done intentionally along with trying to age the cardback to make it look authentic. The first thing to me that gave it away was the obvious...

It's kind of obvious... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Star-Wars-ESB-R2-D2-Sensorscope-Figure-On-Card-1982/254195981687?hash=item3b2f42dd77:g:YwQAAOSw~6Fcrmpq&frcectupt=true See the obvious tape underneath the bubble which is used by the spanish resoration kit seller on eBay (I have bought...

Lol, everyone's a winner. :wink:

ABsolutely Chris, easy to fall into that routine for sure. It is a shame it was cut. I'm just hoping it was cut all those years ago and not recently as there are plenty of examples already opened not to do this to MISB versions and preserve the history.
