Is this a reseal?

MikeStrange · Oct 22, 2015

Hi all, I've bought this carded Luke Bespin and am unsure if it's been resealed? Are the breaks in colour from being resealed or just stress lines from where the bubble was originally sealed in the factory?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Mike

I'm not sure, Joe or Edd maybe best to advise, expert on Trilogo and expert on Luke Bespin respectively

I don't reckon it is, but as said Edd and Joe will tell you.

Looks like the trilogo Luke Bespin that sold recently on eBay...
The stress lines around the bubble are not unusual on trilogo MOCs, especially in that condition. How is the card underneath the lift up in the upper right corner?

Those stress lines are very common on trilogo cards, especially the left hand one. Many of mine have it.

My beater tri mocs have some of those stress lines. Looks ok to me 8)

Did the buyer send it back to you because they believed it to be a reseal or because they overpaid for a bit of a beater and had buyers remorse once it turned up? :wink:

From the pictures above and the auction pictures, I'd say it's probably not a reseal and that any areas that look suspect are actually just wear and tear. The lines on the card near the corners of the bubble are quite common like Matth and Edd said.

Looks fine to me, quite a few Trilogos have really rough looking seals. If you are really doubtful invest in a jewellers eyepiece and you can see factory seals from and reseal attempts really easily.

I'm no tri-logo expert, but I know the card creases are normal. Looks good from what I can see, except in the first pic, there's a lighter patch that is just too far away for me to see clearly. Probably fine and just reflection, but almost looks like either separation or glue residue. Most likely all good though.
