The seller refunded me in full for the Popeye and sent a message stating that they could see it was a fake once it was brought to their attention and would not be relisting it for sale. If they truly got fooled (they were pretty good reseals) then I have nothing against them.

Alas, if only he used his powers for good, instead of evil.

Dismal seller and sorry to hear. With Ebay, you should be assured of getting your funds back. What you bought was not as advertised, obviously.

As a relatively new buyer of sealed games, these threads are, if anything, educational. Thanks to all for posting about past experiences - helps the rest of us avoid these sorts of shenanigans.

That sucks Jonas, sorry it happened to you. Hopefully you get your money back.

yeah... . a curve is normal, but it's usually an even (subtle) arc. Also, the H part... it usually kind of pulls down the long line (if that makes sense) like its slightly tugging it where it meets. Bronty did a nice article a while back on what to look for.

Is it just me, or does the H-seam on he back seem a bit too squiggly?

Man, that sucks!
I'm a bit surprised that the graders picked out the vent holes from under a microscope and not the marker you can kinda pick out from the pics.
I always wonder when these are discovered how many bought and sold them without knowing they were fake before it got picked up on.

Well, the Popeye will be back in the same sellers hands before we know it. Probably back on eBay shortly thereafter. Everbody beware. Seller's name is the_gameking

Not that I collect seals or even plan to sadly for obvious reasons (hence this thread), but I do appreciate you for the "alert" as I have been skimming his items on eBay off and on and after reading all of this I will not be dealing with this person now or in the future.
