    Default Mirage AFA Graded 90 on ebay

    Hi guys,

    first post on here so apologies if any protocols are not adhered to.

    Just wondering if anyone can tell how legit this G1 Mirage "buy it now" sale on ebay is? It sold for $800 US.

    Can be hard to pick the fakes, so curious to know what others think - i have also heard even the AFA have graded fakes at times.

    It looks good to me. Price is right on as AFA Mirage is nearly in every AFA collectors collection. (There have been a couple of case finds).

    I hope you are right as i am the one who bought it!

    I went through some of the great fake identification guides online and none of the usual markers are present on the box. The AFA serial number checks out.

    Pretty exciting for me my first MISB G1 transformer and my first AFA graded toy ever!

    Yes it is a tough one for me.

    There is no doubting that the Transformers out of the box with weapons armed and ready for battle is a far more magnificent sight than MISB.
