Also I would like to just say I have no problem with anyone selling a TT MOC if they declare it, whats wrong with that?
With the price of cardbacks at the moment and the way the hobby is going it's going to be worth selling the cardback and figure seperately. :roll: Rather than MOC. I wander if AFA/UKG would 'U' grade a TT. :?
I find it wrong because there is no guarantee these wont be sold on as original to newer collectors. We all know that when Ep7 is released that things will go ballistic and it will attract new collectors. So although you may think you are doing the right thing, you are in fact doing the total opposite in many ways. This may seem harsh, but the buck should stop with the original owner instead of selling them with a declaration. Ive had to take a hit once or twice having been ripped off, but just got on with it. Bought a 12 back Kenobi for £250 in 2002 that was sold as moc but was resealed, and i lost out-but i got a nice Ben from it
Ive also hit big buying something rare for pennies, and this hobby works like that.
I did find it particularly strange how people were happily palming off these with a declaration, but never having control of what happens after. It seemed as long as they reduced their loss to a minimum all was ok and something isnt right with that.
