Hi guys,I posted this up a couple of months ago as I was unsure :? if this was a reprodution sticker.As you can see that we thought it be original.turns out it is a repro sticker. :evil: I sent him in to ukg to be graded and steve got back to me with edited pics of what to look for in these repros.Just thought I would post this up again so we would know what to look for

Shitting hell - I honestly though it looked good - sorry about that mate

Normally the repro stickers for these things are pretty obvious. It just goes to show what sort of **** is out there now

No problem guys,I thought the thing was legit,it just looked too white,thats what worried me.Been having a chat with Steve at UKG and he says these are getting harder to spot.Apart from the size difference(as pointed out in the pics)the texture is a lot more smoother.Its more noticable on the back!!!

Did Steve give you any information on the origin of these stickers at all? It does look incredibly good to be reproduction (although these days it seems exact replicas are now possible)

It would be cool for the rest of us to know where these repros are coming from, cross reference them against existing variants etc so all information would be really helpful as that one just looks perfect to me!

Bluesnagman - I am sure he has been flagged up before as a well known scammer

I makes me so angry that they are only doing this for profit yet can ruin the hobby for all of us

Well that sucks balls, thanks for the info Steve. I think bluesnagman has an account on here actually - maybe he would like to come and apologise for his "craftsmanship"....

Oh wait he only turns up to post each time he wants postcards from around the world for his kids projects at school or donations..

Well Joe - I think with you new powers that a ban is definitely in order

These should also be reported to ebay

No problem mate :D , I thought he was ok too,just thought he looked a bit too white.I bought him off a guy about a year ago who was selling up,described as off a damaged card.When I got him I thougt he was really minty.Bought a load of figures of the same seller and they were all fine(no repros). I think I just got caught out with this one and to be fair the seller might of aswell :?
