Beautiful pictures you have taken there Grant. :wink:
Joe said:What bugs me the most about this piece is: Jason J is more than aware of the significance of this piece if real yet he isn't tooting the trumpet of discovery about it, has it in a random star case and occasionally shows it off at shows where no one is allowed to take pictures unless they charm him for a 5 min gander??
Spoke to Jason about the piece in question. Turns out it was donated to the Archive a few years back by a friend he trusted, but rather than have any question over it the item has been pulled. Everything else in the auction comes directly from the Archive, no more trusted friends involved. Sorry it took a day or two to deal with this but as I'm sure you can imagine things are a bit busy! Setting up in Stage 7 now

Fair point Joe. I ask him this and he said he was sick of the politics in the star wars community and the name calling and claims.
His words.

I know I would feel a lot more comfortable however if a sealed one was turned up by someone like Gary or Lee Bullock or any of the other UK guys with perfect track records (not saying you haven't got one Jason lol - just that yours is a reseal!)
