It really is a shame that we are having to protect our hobby and restrict the content of our forum because of one Greek, however that is the world that we live in sadly.

That's a great find Tim and the amount of playware adds to it's caracture. Just think of this for a few moments. Some pre-pro models only exists as playworn models because so few were made and kept by senior members of the new products committee and taken home for real trials by letting their kids play with them, so any pristine examples that turn up from unreliable sources, must be questionable!

Same here, but you still have to watch out for the sellers/fakers who shy away from selling minty rare fakes in favour of the playworn variety. We have seen a few in the past.
