Hey guys as you know I'm new to collecting and currently at my huge number of 3 lol Thanks to all of you so far especially Jay

But when you find items such as http://shop.ebay.co.uk/jediretrocards/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340

It worries you to know there are resealed or copy cat how can you be sure its authentic??

Im not into recards as I have stated a couple of times in the past but at least that guy seems to have stated clearly that those recards are recards and he is not trying to pass them of as vintage but as has been stated in the past who knows what the mind set would be of possibly the next person down the line to acquire one of those pieces. It might suddenly turn into a highly sought after vintage MOC overnight . :wink:

No this guy isn't cool, he's a rat.

Try a search on him.

Agreed this guy is a scumbag and you should avoid like the plague!

As for being sure - that takes time and experience, get to know what the first few cards you buy (from good sources) feel and look like, read some threads, look around on the net etc etc

Don't worry we all at some point get sold a lemon but as long as its not an expensive mistake then its quite valuable experience, if you know what a fake looks like you will be better at spotting another

agreed -jediretrocards is the lowest of the low. As is his new name bespinsavers
