[QUOTE="mr_palitoy, post: 308329, member: 137"] Hi Joe, still waiting for comment on this. I feel that Lee and yourself, have very unfairly pulled me up for misdiagnosing a card as a Toni that I gave no diagnosis on at all. My reply that I sent to Ian has been posted for a day now. Nowhere in that reply did I say it was a Toni. I asked some more questions and suggested the card wear was a sign that it could be genuine. The guide I put together is intended so anyone should be able to look at the comparison photos between Tonis and genuine cards and make reasonable conclusions themselves. I have looked at a lot of cards now though, so may be better at doing this now than most. I'm happy to help if I can. I don't like making firm yes/no judgements where there is no clear clincher either way. For Chewbacca 65d, Toni used the same long narrow bubble shown here that was also used on genuine shop sold cards. For these cards, and a few other palitoys and all the double stemmed german and clipper cards that Toni had, he used the correct bubble. That makes diagnosis much harder. There are always going to be cards at the boundaries that are going to be able to be argued either way. In this case, I felt there was too much card wear for the card to have been a mint card to start with. Ian felt differently, and thought that could have occurred from repeated insertion and removal from an acrylic case. He has the card in hand, I only have photos, and he is an experienced collector who has seen his fair share of Tonis too, so I accepted his judgement on this point. Jason [/QUOTE]
