Not sure if its a fake or not. I saw it and laughed.

If real, that's not quite as crazy as it sounds... YJ auctions for a while have tended to be closer to the $500 mark than at the $400 (or below) level.

Seems to be real (at least as far as I can tell by looking at those small pictures). The colors are right (vest is purple and face is flesh-colored, the top of the katakana is light yellow) the tearstrip is at the bottom (the fake's tearstrip is in the middle of the katakana-"sapphire"). At least it's none of the fakes the people here bought. So either it is genuine or someone has made a new and improved batch of fakes. To be 100% sure, one would need a closeup foto to compare the printing quality.

Yes, I bought a mint populous the promised lands for scd from him. Shipping took forever though. It's my understanding that he bought a warehouse backstock of new pc engine games. Good seller.

Oh yeah I know, Ive bought from him before, MOST of his stuff is new and sealed! But I still laughed when I saw his asking price. Come to think of it, it may be the real thing after all.
