Just got wind that its a fake, unfortunately I read the thread too late and helped bump up the price and is too late to retract my bid, should've done my research, doh!!

Yeah there was a thread on SWCC about it too. The seller was informed but chose to go ahead with the scam anyway. Hopefully someone will contact the winner and inform them once they have left feedback.

And I gave some heads up here on these things - http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8658

All I can say is do the research before you bid, that won't help the people bidding on ebay that aren't on the forum but for those of us with use of forums and google- just google the item and find a picture of a real one and in 10 seconds you know real from fake (or post a picture and ask)

Yeah cheers Joe, I should've known better now looking at the bubble! :S Think I was too taken by the logo!

I think the colour of the card on this one is the biggest giveaway. Silly of the buyer to not listen to the warning though. I guess you can't help some people.
