is this a repro sticker

[jabbawokkie]

can anyone tell if this is a repro sticker

 

[craignwo4life]

It's never easy to tell. :? Is there any yellowing or signs of age considering it is 30 years old ?!! :lol:

Usually the repros are a bit more pixelated. Its difficult to tell, that pic is a bit dark.

I used to sell repro stickers so i know how to tell. The original ones are stamped out of a sheet and repro ones are hand cut with scissors. Look around the underside of the legs and see if the stickers have been hand cut. (you can allways tell!!!!)

this is true but not always the case as i use to make my own repro stickers from a cd rom with a back cataloge of the repro stickers for vehicles/figures/playsets and if they are cut using a template made of card then cut with a craft knife or razor blade then you dont get the repro look as twofoot has stated..... it really is getting very hard to tell the difference repro stuff is getting really good ! :evil:

jabba, to get a better focus on your camera is there a "macro" function?

The cameras macro focus should have an icon that looks like a flower that enables you to take close up photo's without blurring. :wink:

yeah found it

 

[boba frett]

Looks real to me.

The only way I would be able to tell is to have a very close picture of the orange. As mentioned before, you will see distortion in the pixels. I make these stickers and mine are all die cut. As for the 1 vs 2 piece sticker, most originals are 2 pieces. It is very hard to wrap a one piece sticker around a cylinder. Any repros I make are also 2 pieces because how easy they are to put on.
It's good to be back. I miss you guys!

Good to see you back Todd!

I was wondering where our resident Yank had gone.

 

[bluesnagman]

Thanks Weasel!
I get so darn busy between the 3 jobs and 4 kids that it is really hard to find the time. I will probably be back for a couple of months and then disappear again. I will enjoy it while I can.

Simple solution, sell the kids (maybe just keep your favourite)!
With the extra money you won't need three jobs! :lol:

Good to see you back anyway!
