Repro carded figure with repro AFA sticker - SCARY!!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Star-Wars-BOBA-FETT-21-Back-1979-AFA-90-KENNER-/291188318846

Am sure if this was reported to AFA then they could approach eBay about removing this listing

But surely buying graded means you can be 100% sure the item is original/correctly and consistently graded/not a toy toni.

AFA need to look at this. As much as I don't like AFA, if I ran a business and someone was ripping my products off on ebay, I would want them to stop.

Wow this is annoying, items like that should be destroyed, They have no purpose, but to Con someone down the line.

It is very worrying when this sort of thing pops up.It also says in the listing that it was bought a couple of years ago.Does anyone know if the AFA sticker is a direct rip off of one that is actually legitimate or is it just a made up serial number?

does the reference umber check out? be worth buyig this and getting it reported as a fake, then get a refund and send him the pics of you burning it :twisted:

The reference number doesnt match up.

Also he says its fake in his listing about the moc and serial number, but who knows what the next buyer does with it.

in theory though you could still buy this and report as a fake, get steve at UKG to verify it and ebay would ask you to destroy it lol....

do a nice youtube video of its destruction

That's terrible :evil:
Surely there is countless copyright infringements with something like that?
Shame to see, but nothing surprising really as scammers try and milk the cash cow now that is Vintage Star Wars!

I have said for years that the sticker and case would be easy to fake. Actually easier than faking the cardback/bubble flawlessly.

Reported to Ebay

:shock: this must be illegal due to the AFA grading sticker on its own

Disgraceful :twisted:

That is a scarily good fake though.

At least the guy is honest about it in his listing. God knows enough people out there would flog it as genuine and hope to get a newbie who didn't know to check the serial number at AFA

The next seller will for sure.

No shiny AFA foil sticker on side of case which is a giveaway. Don't see the point in this at all the effort the seller has put into it is not worth what he's going to get. Would be better of picking spuds for a living. :lol:

I do see a problem with this figure. Are we all forgetting THE FRAME SHOP from Spain selling recarded figures for years on eBay.... I'm going to bid on it I think it looks amazing!

Even though I posted on here saying that I reported the sale to Ebay the seller has obviously come onto the forum for a look and thinks I am someone else :roll: Apologies if the seller happens to be a member and someone gets a snotty PM from this guy. I don't believe a regular user of the forum would sell crap like this anyway. Send them my way. They can message me all day long.

This is part of the reply I got -

"Hi, I do understand what u are on about but I brought this figure from eBay. So do u message the blister sisters every time they list figures..."


Apparently the Blister Sisters are an Ebay seller. Never heard of 'em :?

You do or you don't see a problem? I would love to say that there is no wrong answer, but to most there is definitely a wrong answer.

If he is a member he ...he needs to get ****ed. :evil:
