[QUOTE="Frunkstar, post: 489226, member: 314"] Well I am glad I am not the only one to consider a refund is in order under the circumstances, I regarded this person as a decent sort & good fellow collecting buddy till this point, I even recently just valued & authenticated his entire baggie collection via email for him, many of which were confirmed to be of the fake type confirmed to have been coming from Reading (Jeff). I will start by by saying every single one of these pink text packs I have seen all seemingly trace back to one place, all in the UK with not a single one being discovered stateside where they would have been issued, most have been sold behind closed doors in direct sales or via a stall at the Farthest From event, I actually have a picture on file saved from the baggie investigation showing the person who sold this to me & the person they bought it from (confirmed by the seller), the pic is also IMO very worrying as it shows not 1 but 2 of these rare packs on the sales table, I had not really noticed through the baggie investigation & only later when investigating these packs & looking over old images did I notice it after zooming in, I am not sure it would be fair to share the full image on the net, but here is a cropped section of it & a blow up of the packs in question - [ATTACH type="full" alt="15401041_10153961882486372_6980085082553923634_n - Copy (2).jpg"]46473._xfImport[/ATTACH] & below a blow up as best I can of the 2 packs on the stall which from what I can make out are both these red text 2 packs - [ATTACH type="full" alt="15401041_10153961882486372_6980085082553923634_n - Copy - Copy.jpg"]46474._xfImport[/ATTACH] The seller in question is a member of the forum (Marc Hockley) & the pack he later confirmed when questioned via facebook message is from Jeff Glanville. I suppose it should not really have come as much of a shock considering the history, but if I get nothing back I so be it, that I have sort of accepted, what I will not & can not accept is further dilution of the hobby I love with these dam fake items, though obviously a refund would be the done thing IMO. If Jeff has had so many of these pink text versions for sale, then where are they coming from?? with not a single confirmed one stateside, same as the recent woolworths 8 packs Laurence posted about - no known examples can be traced back & no examples of images can be found of that type dating back further than a few years, so I again ask - WHERE ARE ALL THESE ITEMS COMING FROM?? Jeff you NEED to divulge where they are coming from as otherwise the evidence is pretty damming & mounting. Marc - I urge you to do the right thing & make good on a full refund. Everyone else - I urge you to be on your guard when buying items [/QUOTE]
