Is this worth worrying about?

Not sure if these could be a problem for some people as I can't remember if some of these were stickers originally or all printed on the cards.

Thought it might be worth a heads up though.

FFS what are they going to reproduce next. That's ****ing stupid.

These where posted on here recently I also received a repro weapon from this seller a while ago too. Good to see the link again, the more that know the better.

What can you do though, they will never consider the 'illegitimate uses' of these stickers when there is £3.99 to be made :roll:

for a collector though these are a major pain in the ass, can easily start a bidding war between focus collectors i suppose if they are unsure.

so I'm guessing some of these were originally stickers on the cards? Has anyone seen these first hand to see how closley they match the originals? I'm just glad that I've always only collected offerless cards as this could be a real problem.

I would guess they are spot on, probably touched up scans...

the only plus is that you need to cut them out yourself, a compass cutter would do the job but would not give you the same smooth finish as the real ones on the cards.

I saw these recently too. It seems like almost anything will be reproduced these days and for some reason there's always someone there to buy it. I would like to think, in hand, these would be easy to spot, but in an auction picture, probably not.

As Andy said, for a focus collector, sometimes these offers can really drive up the price on a MOC.
