I think it's pretty elaborate as is. Do a search of his name. You'll see we've gone head up for years. He sells fakes, point blank. He comes here and he plugs his site, but pretends it's not his since he got banned years ago for plugging it, and basically pretends he's so benevolent when in reality he's only helping his and his friend's wallet. Coins, carded Vlix, 21 back Fetts, VC Jawas, they've made them all and all with scary accuracy with no care how much it damages the hobby.originaldrdoom said:
I've had these coins for more than a year and haven't sold any by themselves, only on a few recards. No, they're not marked as reproductions but a trained eye can tell the difference fairly easy.ColleSystem said:
I agree also....maybe we should only be allowed to trade on this boardLordWill said:
Wow, that's exactly what it looks like to me. The words are definitely too close to the edge of the coin. I've never seen any legit examples of POTF coins that look like that. Granted, I've only seen a few Fetts in person, but perhaps someone with more experience can chime in?
I totally agree with you. It would be one thing if they put "reproduction" somewhere on the coin. The market is getting flooded with repros from coins & accessories, to recards. It is getting more difficult for the average collector to tell the difference. If people want a rare item in their collection, they should take the time to save, track down, and get the real deal (or live without it). The problem comes in when collectors need money and then sell their repross off as legit items (not everybody, but a lof of them). This problem seems to be getting worse and worse these days. For those who say "you just need to do your research" or "train your eye", it's not that easy, especially when it's on ebay.
For those who don't already know, there is a fake PSA slab scam that has surfaced in recent months. It isn't inconceivable that what you're looking at here is a tampered slab with switched coin, or outright fake all the way through. See the above link to see how convincing the PSA slab looked. The scammer has now started moving into comics and coins. No proof of any fake slabs in these collectible categories, but people who are cross-collecting caught him posting his usual "hey look what I bought" scheme in an attempt to friend and screw over comic hobbyists on the CGC boards.
