Fake resealed DSC Trilogo miscard

[Joe]

I know the seller is a member here as he is selling the Jawa card I sold him in another listing but just a heads up (because I think it's shitty to sell stuff like this) - http://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-star-wars-tri-logo-miscard-imperial-commander-resealed-figure-moc-carded-/231002724743?pt=UK_Collectables_SciFi_fantasyCollectables_EH&hash=item35c8d5d987

I know it states reseal but this is a collector made piece. The miscard combination is legit but it was only released on two cardbacks (70C+ Meccano circle punch) and this is a bog standard 70B AT-ST card + bubble that a DSC has been stuck on.

I am all for believing that either:

-The seller didn't reseal this himself and is just "putting it out there as is"
-The seller isn't aware he resealed it to the wrong card and thinks its "ok" to sell as is

But I still think it is worthy of a thread so people steer clear. I could reseal any figure on another figures cardback and call it a Trilogo miscard reseal but that would be a lie - the fact that this particular combination is a known and very sought after combination says it all to me..

I could reseal any figure on another figures cardback and call it a Trilogo miscard reseal but that would be a lie.

True that.

I'm intrigued by how a resealed figure would constitute as a MOC, or is that a term that may still be used for resealed figures?

I thought the bubble looked wrong on that DSC Miscard. Would never buy a resealed miscard anyway.

Surely a resealed miss-card isn't a miss-card at all

I have a couple of miss-cards and their bubbles are notoriously brittle so it worries me that the figure will eventually come out and I will be left with nothing special at all

Just curious - Is there any reason why the bubble is more brittle Iain?

 

[Frunkstar]

They were the last lot to come from the factory/production plants from what I have heard & the bubbles got progressively cheaper/thinner as they tried to cut costs, got to the point that they had figures & card backs that did not match so just packed this with that type of approach to get rid of what was left, though I am sure Joe will know a hell of a lot better than I, but I think thats it?

Poor show by that seller 2

Thanks for the info

Yes its a wee bit naughty

A miscard kind loses it's appeal and credibility...once it is resealed.

Just looked...several reseals.................some even look to be repro bubbles.

 

[rob71]

and the seller is a member here? maybe a quiet word is in order...

Bubbles deffo look odd on some of them :?

 

[theslider]

Seems pointless to me - how can it be a miscard if it's resealed - would be better off putting a matching figure in there then resealing it IMO.

How in great jebus name is it possible to have a re-carded mis-card :? That's absolute bulls£&t..... I have a very rare mis-card 12 back vader on Luke Farmboy card.

Please, stop. :roll:
