I've kept my mouth shut for a while on this thread, just waiting to see. I agree, from some angles it can look suspect. However, what I hear more people saying, in essence, is... "If it were me, I would..." I understand the desire to say that, but we ARE talking about a new collector (as stated by the OP). I didn't get a security bit for my games until a couple of years into collecting, so I understand if he doesn't just plaster this post with thousands of pictures of the board from every angle in 10 different kinds of lighting.

I do understand that Qix offered to meet him and he didn't want to. We don't know what that's about, but it could be anything. Maybe he's a little wary of meeting someone online that he doesn't know because it's dealing with a product that is worth thousands of dollars. I don't doubt in any way, shape, or form Qix's reliability... I would meet him, too, if I thought I had the real deal. The big BUT is this: "BUT, he isn't me."

As you all know, this will be found out as true or fake eventually. I understand everyone's initial skepticism, but we will all need to wait and see. I hope that this is true, I would super be pumped for the OP. Good luck, brother, I hope it all turns out great. I'll keep reading and see.
