hi everyone, sorry about the delay regarding this urgent matter................!

my concerns are about hight graded, hight end TRI-LOGO figures especially the last 17.......... after toni-gate a member on here mentioned he had a suspect looking imp dig, he was shot down very fast as everyone was telling him toni never had any tri-logo......... this got me thinking as i thought i had one or two that i thought were suspect...... (ive got faucourt's book, done plenty of research brought my first sw vintage moc in 1994 so please dont!!) :wink:

i recently required a few mint moc last 17 on tri-logo for a very good price almost to good....... of course i cant be 100% sure about this but the pop up R2 especially in my opinion was never made in a toy factory all them years ago, never..... some of them are just like toni's :shock: apart from no iron marks on the cardback the seals look amazing but the cardback looks like it has just come off the shop shelf...

i'm far from an expert on tri-logo figures but am i really the only person think this :? i'm not saying its toni him self but he has been selling a few tri-logo Stormtroopers very mint moc of late :? he was once quite hard to get hold of..?...your thoughts =???????

could someone have done a toni right under our noses with tr-logo cardbacks, that are now booming....?

again on evil-bay over the past few weeks saber1977 has sold some card fresh figures, i did get a few and they were card fresh someone obviously a dealer or scammer brought a large amount 67 i think of these figures and paid a hefty price.... mega money £$£$£$

am i paranoid.? i dont think so, my ocd about no offers or price stickers has come back to haunt me.......... :roll:.............again............

now i understand why so many tri=logo collectors want price stickers on them even the bad but now not so bad NEW FIGURE £1.59 sticker

did some collectors know about this, is it common knowledge........... we will never know............... :?

Never missed a sales pitch Iain! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Other option is to put them in your own acrylic case and give them a grade yourself - that way you will never be disappointed

Plus you can take them out of the case and protect the bubble if you are shipping them

This is the option I choose. My opinion is my grade

That's great but where's the first and second bomb shell, is their a third or fourth? Does anyone on here pin so much on anyone else's opinion? TT was a one off with all origional parts being put together at a later stage out of the factory. Which insedently were sent of for grading by experts years before any of this came out, so it's the blind leading the blind, etc, etc... I agree if you have to ask just buy a sliding bottom case and enjoy the shine.

Toni also acquired a lot of sealed MOC tri logo figures at the same time he got the lot of 12000 unused cardbacks from the Palitoy factory. He has also been selling these for years. I have no evidence of any tri logo card that shows signs of his home sealing or any card that he home sealed using a tri logo bubble. Either he didnt have any tri logo bubbles or they were too fragile to survive his sealing process.

If you have examples of tri logo cards that you think are suspect, please post pictures up of the whole front and back of the card, and close ups of the bubble seal and I will take a look at them.
