Resealed figure discovery debate - G.Kurtz Palitoy VC Jawa.

All ESB/ROTJ's after 45b's are suspect.

There's no guarantee that the factories followed bubble to card protocol.

Highly likely maybe, but there are no guarantees.

Prices stickers can be added from card backs.

MOCs can be aged if the were sealed decades ago.

The only way to find out is for TT to let us know the sketch.

He's not going to do that without a legal enquiry.

I have to disagree. Entire lines of ROTJ cards are guaranteed Toni free.

65a's were manufactured in the far east so the unused cards were not present in the coalville factory when it shut up shop.

And there's no evidence of Toni having and 65bs either.

Kathys video was obviously made pre Tonigate.

Her tips for spotting fake vcjs is pretty sound.

Just wanted to post this as a footnote to all the talking points which seem to have gone in many different directions as this thread and suggested tells began to unfold

Namely, the application of the blister on the card, and the poor, non-uniform and/or unevenly applied appearance on "suspect" ROTJ MOC's from Toni.

A member on RS posted the following images on Friday evening asking for people to confirm the legitimacy of his Made in Mexico cardback. The following MOC is legit.

To repeat, the appearance of the way the blister makes contact to the card just looked so similar to some of the examples posted in this thread that I thought it was a good example of how other factory examples have the appearance of a "suspect" seal:

Don't expect to get money back- just nail the guy for fraud.

Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society looking the other way.

[Captainsolo1978]

I spoke to him on the telephone when ordering some figures about 9 years ago. He has an English accent.

 

[mr_palitoy]

He's quite photo shy, no photos of his face.

This used to be his cover photo on his facebook account:-

Short, bald, old and skinny from what people have said who have seen him in the flesh.
