help requested, regarding a possibly reseal

[mike-skywalker]

This is my latest aquisition. Unfortunately I am pretty sure it´s a reseal, but I would like to hear some other oppinions.

Here a more detailed images

So what do you guys think...just lifting or partially reseal?

Mike, It appears to be super glue residue at the top of the bubble. Also It looks like the Gun is not present. The bubble looks a little too big, but I beleive it is real. If the weapon is not there It's a reseal job for sure.

No weapon is not necesarily an indication that it's a reseal.

Tri-logos were packed with all many of weapon combos, and none.

However glue residue is alwyas a worry.

can you see any breaking of the colour of the card, around the edges of the bubble, both inside and out?

Please check all fotos...there´s a link to my webshots, where I added a bunch of fotos of the Leia Hoth.
If anybody had a closer look to picture 12...the picture shows clearly the weapon inside the blister.

It defo looks like a reseal to me. I have looked at all the pictures and the waffle pattern isn't present and you can see glue residue. Its a well done be reseal mind i hope it wasn't sold to you as factory sealed!

You don't normally get waffle patterns on Tri-logos - but I know what you mena about the glue, but it could be where the bubble has started to lift.

If its a reseal its very good

Tri logo MOCS Don't have the waffle pattern so that might be the reason !

I am tempted to say reglued, possibly it popped or lifted in shipping/transit and a previous owner used glue to reattach it, I am no expert though and as lots suggested look for a break in the colour and paper of the card and bubble.

I keep looking at it over and over and it doesn't look good, I say go with your gut feeling and confront the seller, it may well be legit but if you aren't happy then I would send it back.

I have had many tri logo cards and I have questioned lots of things, cardstock, bubble sizes and these are all documented as being legit variations (small early french bubbles etc) but glue spots etc and bubbles under the blister is something I have never seen.
(Only time I did see this was a partially resealed POTF Lumat )

Maybe Edd_Jedi can take a look over his massive tri logo collection and see if he can spot something like this on any of his MOCS.

 

[gustie]

should the bubble have sharp corners like that?

Yes, that's fine

 

[Joe]

I went through my pictures to see if I had any close up shots of the bubble corners/seal for comparison and I was shocked when I found this! Small white/grey speckled part highlighted in red...


Quickly ran to the collection room and took it out to get a closer look and its just dust!

This answers nothing but my heartbeat has returned to normal now :mrgreen:
