Is this a genuine auction do you think ? i mean is it really original card ? Has anyone bought off the seller before ?
If it doesn't go too high would be a lovely take off :twisted:

Thanks guys ,i will have to pay more attention and learn how to spot the fakes

I start with a quick google image search, then pay close attention to the punch hole, bubble size, then look through the sellers feedback.
 
For the most part ROTJ figures will not be repro/fakes due to the low cost of these items, really isnt worth it for someone to fake them. Re-Seals and touchups would be an issue but not fakes IMO for the ROTJ line.

And yip the card is legit.

Hope that helps

I know you said "for the most part & IMO" but sorry that is a crazy thing to say. They fake $2 weapons, scammers will fake anything.

Klaatu, B-wing & Chirpa ROTJ fakes :evil:
 
Can see where you are coming from, think I should of explained myself better, however you are right I supose scammers will scam anything and everything. IMO there is a difference between selling a reproduction/recard as that rather than trying to pass one off as a real card, which then IMO is a fake.

Errrrr hope that makes sense, kinda, maybe, errrrr yeh :)
 
I hope I didn't come off as having a go at you. I just don't want people to be complaisant when buying ROTJ cards thinking that they are 'always' going to be real. Those 3 examples I linked to were all relisted recently, a few days ago they were described as genuine items together with a heap of rare POTF MOCs- Yak, Gam Guard, AT-AT driver etc. ALL are fake :evil:

HEHE not at all bud, I totally see where you are coming from and 100% right especially for any new collectors, or new MOC collectors are concerned.
