For a start he's holding his blaster so surely that is a giveaway?
Is the seal obviously a re-do guys?

The guns not a giveaway, I've seen Mocs with figures holding weapons. It doesn't look quite right though. It's Palitoy and the bubble looks a little too large, strangely sealed and positioned to me. Could be a Toni. But I'm no expert, someone will set you straight.

I agree with you Rob to a point but the only ones i can recall from memory holding weapons are the firmer grips of the Cantina aliens, Stormies etcetera.
Can't recall seeing this Han holding his blaster due to more relaxed grip?
Also are Toytoni bubbles turning yellow? plus I'm sure he only used unused cardbacks? This has quite a bit of wear.
Very puzxling

Have to agree, normally only see Star Wars cards with figures holding their weapons.
This feels off, most likely a reaseal down the left hand side?
Interesting, depends on the price, nice looking MOC.

It's hard to be absolutely certain without having it in hand, but it certainly looks like a reseal to me. There are too many missing / misaligned litho spots beneath the blister for my liking, plus the card beneath the blister's edge looks decidedly tinted to me (and unevenly so, especially at the top), which can be a sign of glue being used. Also, the seal itself looks off in multiple places, and down the left-hand side the litho looks ripped beneath the bubble. There also look to be small paint rubs on the front of Han's hair, which again, can be a good indicator of a reseal.

Those are some cracking observations Snake.

Happy I could help, although sorry it's a reseal :-(. Having said that, it's still a pretty good reseal, so it's a whole lot better than a loose one!

I would say this was a re-seal. There are a few of us re-seal collectors on here so keep us in mind if he needs a good home. :D

Ha will do Mark.
Although I'd have no idea what reseals go for, what would a ballpark be on this do you reckon?
Maybe i should put this in the valuation section but aren't reseals frowned upon?

I don't think reseals are frowned upon. Recards yes, but reseals no. As for value, yes I recommend putting it up in the Valuation thread, but in my own personal experience of buying reseals (admittedly rarer cards), depending on condition, they seem to go for about 10% of the full MOC price. More common cards might go for a higher percentage of their MOC price than that because it will never be less than the loose figure + loose card price.

Good luck with it if you do decide to sell :)

Yeah as said above reseals are accepted if all original parts and full disclosure. Pop it in the valuation thread, I am interested so will not comment on what the value.

Cheers
