Have I bought a fake?

[Starwoz]

Hi all. I'll keep it swift, if anyone could give any advice it's much appreciated.
I've just bought a AFA 90 ATAT driver on ESB card. No waffle marking on the seal but the card is mint pristine. I paid £260 inc shipping. Any other new advice on ESB card fakes.

Thanks so much.

You will need to post a picture. We cant tell if its a fake from words alone.....

Is it kenner or palitoy. I didnt hear of no palitoy esb at at drivers being fake plus no waffle on palitoys only kenners

Possibly a GM German Text on ESB... that's on 'the list'

Defo need front and back pictures to fully clarify.

I forgot about those. TT is a ****. Use to love the lovely Fetts plus the sweet Dengar on the german esb card. Only mint ones i see

Is it a 90 or did the advert say it would grade 90?
If it was this one then given the sellers reputation and past actions I would say it's a TT

That is a Palitoy esb at-at and is ok. Not a card Toni had.

It's there german esb at-at you need to worry about.

Apologies all round then, that one was £260 plus shipping

No need to apologise you nutter! :lol:

I want to see some photos as well, your just trying to help him.

 

[Starwoz]

Sorry I wrote ATAT and I meant Tie Pilot. Got a newborn and having no sleep. Any help is appreciated. Ta

I hope I'm wrong but I think that's a Toni; the old scroat had a good number of TIE pilot 45b cards. Sorry mate - looks stunning though if that helps any.

Very high grade, and a Palitoy.... defo a clear sign of being a TT..

Sadly, it is one on the list, hopefully Jason (Mr Palitoy) can fully confirm.

 

[Starwoz]

I had a feeling but didn't want to believe I had been so stupid, I checked and it was graded a while back pre Toni. Is it possible for the AFA to know even today if it's a fake?

Since the scandal broke AFA refused to admit liability that their service was flawed... but have since stopped grading anything Palitoy wise (except early logo'd cards) in fear they will grade a fake again.

Has ukg stop grading palitoy cards too? Even genuine rotj ones ?

 

[Starwoz]

Thanks guys, luckily it was an eBay purchase so I should be protected through PayPal and give the dude his dud back.

 

[Starwoz]

Also do you suggest that Kenner is just a safer bet all round for MOC?

 

[mr_palitoy]

That TFP looks like a Toni.

Palitoy is safe to collect if you avoid the cards Toni had. There aren't that many different cards he had.
