Did you check to see whether it's genuine, before bidding?

You've got to be feckin' kidding me !

I don't think sending something international is anywhere near that much of a 'hassle'

Going to loose quite a few bidders with that one I think, which is a pity considering I'll be one of them  
(aside from any issue of genuine-ness etc)

...just my $US100 worth..

well i have just sent him a msg saying pretty much exactly the same thing. there are quite a few bidders outside the US who would love a bash at that, and hes prb just about lost them all right now - shame really - i wouldnt mind another of them too.

*g*. Notice he didn't choose to respond specifically to my question, but there is;
"Do (sic) to many e-mails I'm reconsidering my overseas shipping. I'm told paper is not a customs or shipping problem. So I will ship to Europe, but expect a higher shipping fee, as it will probably go FedEx. Best of Luck"

Oh, you don't live in Europe. Shame!

Anyhow FedEx US->UK sucks, IMO... (Previous two attempts resulted in misdelivery followed by an attempt to charge duty & fees (twice on the same item!) where that should have been duty-free; resulting in it being lost "returned to sender").

On the brighter side;
"This was found in the estate of a long time SF & Fantasy collector, along with other simular (sic) items. It is guaranteed to be authentic."
which is the only guarantee aside from the implication that he's checked with people over here first.
(Would be more of a reassurance than those greyish pixellated scans with no sign of thumbmarks, if so )

Enjoy

One for the collection, and one for writing on, eh?

*lol*. I think Al just wants to start 2006 broke!


*still waiting for someone with an original ziploc to confirm on that, aside*

Especially if it's the later-style map grid (impossible to confirm from those pics).

Not that I'd want to be putting anyone (like Brian) off, but seems smart to get all the obvious questions dealt with as much as possible before bidding high. They ain't going for an early auction close

yeah i dont think the day will ever come where i have any money

just another - was thinking on what david wrote there too. if i was auctioning it, i would have done some pretty nice sharp pics for everyone to see. not too fussed on the ones there already and it kinda doesnt instil any great confidence in me wanting to have a blast at it.

I'm sure someone will still pay a fortune for it, but personally I would never pick up an item like that unless it was from someone I knew or trusted. If it turns out to be a fake, what recourse do you have? None.
Besides, the black folder version is ten times better.

yeah think youre right - i would like one of them black folder ones to go with the one i have. would make much more sense i guess.

the bag defo aint oriignal.

and i think youre right there - i would prefer to get something like that from someone much more reputable with at least a decent backup story of where an item came from.

Agreed, the baggie doesn't look original.  Note, also, the description states "originally came in a Ziploc bag", not that this IS the original baggie.

Like David said, impossible to tell from the pics whether it's a copy or original.  If I were bidding on it, I'd definitely pay with a CC.  Back when we were trying to figure out what in hell the Bella copy was, I checked with all of my CC issuers, and AmEx offered by far the most comprehensive protection.

Good luck!
