[QUOTE="Joe, post: 48419, member: 440"] There are many reliable sources for these figures, childhood collections from one owner, or people taking them from beater cards but with them becoming something else to collect its all to easy to stick a figure in some bleach or paint remover and voila....saying that if someone did so you would be able to track the traces. You would be able to slightly smell the odour of paint stripper and if it was removed by a bit of force there would be some abrasion to the plastic. Of course its possible to fake anything but the majority of cases it will be genuine error, especially if you find them in lots and not described as such. It's the custom ones advertised as firstshots and prototypes you have to be careful of, that side of collecting is another story...you really need to do your home work and trade and buy from trusted sellers with vaild histories of the pieces. :) [/QUOTE]
