...from Spain

It has become almost a bane of my existence when I do a search on evil bay, who is this guy "from Spain" and he is making making these repros which are selling for anything between £20 tp £50!

Well known repro dealer. The problem is its a vicious circle. They produce them, people buy them, gives them money to produce more, people buy them, they make more, people buy them, they make more. You get my drift. Unless everybody stops buying from these dealers, this stuff will continually get produced.

Unless we club together for a hitman.

His guy 'from Spain' is Nathan Edwards, AKA 'costablancastarwars'.

Yeah this tool is a well known repro seller.

Keep well away from him :evil: :twisted:

The thing I dont get is the prices he gets for this ****. They are not the best looking repros I have ever seen.

I agree with the above, why does he get such good prices for these and wouldn't a reseal be both cheaper and better than one of these?

Agreed. The cards are all wrong. Wrong size, grainy print quality and the colours are horrible. I guess you could look at that as good in a way. Easy to spot. I have this friend (Steve Smith) who bought a couple a few years back. No idea why. Must have seemed like a good idea at the time :? . The cards are total rubbish and only fit for the bin.

getting stressed about repro stuff is now pointless as its so rife, all you can do is enjoy the forums, a safe-haven from these tosspots

I do enjoy forums....but doing a sensible search for 12 backs is impossible on Ebay now as most of the stuff is repro s**t

dont forget you can add filters using a - symbol so a search like star wars 12bk with -repro -mounted -on -reseal ect ect will filter out those words in your search.
