Thanks Liam :)
 
Nope it isn't in my opinion. Punch looks off, cardback looks washed out and the bubble looks brand spanking new.

As Joe says. Does the seller also have a 12 back vader and a VC Jawa carded for sale. If so, they are all moody mate. I asked the seller if they were repro and he came out with the usual, I dont know, got them from an auction etc etc.
Jawa has a blaster in his hand which I think is wrong and vader has the wrong bubble.
 
So the seller is also selling this and others on the ebay?
I will be honest now I know its fake. I got this from Gumtree - http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/1978-star-wars-death-star-droid-mint-condition/104504366
 
My first though is that it doesn't look right - as Joe say - cardback looks 'washed out'

No, not the same seller. The one on EBAY is in Grimsby. He's got a set of four 20/21 backs, 12 bk Vader and 12 bk VCJ. They're all wrong and I said he should edit the listing, but he hasn't.
 
Well Told the seller it was a fake and linked them to this thread too to show some second oponions.

Their response - Id beg to differ and also trust in the person that stood in front of me and valued it for us but thanx for ur interest.
I'm a mum of 3 bought this from a car boot sale I am not selling any more on eBay id like u to remove the post u posted Have no idea about star wars anything was just trying to make some money



No need for you to reply."

If members here spot fake items on ebay, gumtree etc they always post them in threads here. To be fair Liam was asking other members here, experienced collectors, if this was a legit piece. The answer was "no" it is not. This is common practice and for the sake of collectors both experienced and new to the hobby it is a necessary way to inform and protect those in the market for these kind of items.
I hope that makes it clearer. At least now you know so you can edit your listing. Showing that this sort of thing helps sellers too. After all ripping someone off was not your intention and something i'm sure you yourself want to avoid. Everybody wins.
 
We'll its been fun but will leave you all to it! and will totally know where to come for any star wars advice in the future. :) :)
 
You'll be more than welcome. Lots of experienced collectors here and weasel who are always willing and ready to help. :)
 
As has been said. Defo fake. The colours arent right on the front of the card let alone the back. Other issues too. The seller has at least responded in a sensible manner in this case. If the car boot story is true Id have still bought it at 20p, thats a damn cheap DSD.

I would defend myself but I freely admit to knowing FA about SW!

So I've just banned Pete for a month! :wink:
