I wish this was real. It would be the most beautiful piece on the planet in this condition.
What an As+hole.
 
Its unbelievably annoying to see people going after utter shite like this and willing to drop over $1000 on it when I struggled to sell a legit one a while back.

This is going to be a big slap in the face to someone somewhere.
 
Ok I'm not too familiar with POTF figures, mainly because I haven't started looking for carded figures yet, but how can you tell so quickly that there are problems with this auction?

I'm not trying to defend it mind you, just trying to get some insight into how to tell real carded figures vs fakes and such. Did Yak not come in the POTF line? or is it something on the card or the bubble? Just curious :)
 
Compare the details of the the one in the auction and an afa graded one on google.
First of all a clear bubble is a bad sign! I have never seen a clear bubble yak face!

You will see the following:
Picture zoomed incorrectly
Missing text on the card
No tray to hold the figure in place.
The pink backing is fractionally short
The pink is too red
"Special" is out of alignment with the other two line
The white text is the wrong font.

The biggest instant flag is clear bubble.
 
Yeah that's not a quality repro... this is!!

Minus the punch of course! :p
 
Its up to $7700 now :shock: with 6 days to go. There must be a way to stop this. I feel for the poor person that is buying it.
 
Definately shill bidding, but either way id be using my credit card to pay LOL

id personally kick his head in if i lost out on that much money to a scammer who has blatently replied to emails saying its just the "figure" that is real.
 
This is all over on RS- fairly sure there are a couple of guys who said they will bid it up to a million dollars then not pay! :lol:
 
look at the bidding history id say its shill bidding both the high bidders have 100% bid activity with this seller
 
i take they are bidding this one up as well another blatant fake from the same seller
