Thanks for posting this Karo.
You're welcome. Just keep an open mind like you are doing and don't believe the hype. Do your research. Don't take anyone's word on anything they say. Base your beliefs on everything that is presented to you and take it all in with an impartial viewpoint. No one knows everything there is to know about vader, so everyone will be wrong at one point or another. Try to differentiate between a person's
opinion and someone's
opinion stated as fact. You get a lot of wild accusations and incorrect assumptions based on nothing more than pure speculation. Yet those same people will go on some ridiculous crusade to make you believe what they are saying is true.
I don't know about anyone else, but anyone who claims to be a vader expert who puts an ESB detail specific faceplate on their ANH display and boast that it's ANH, then shows an ESB faceplate on his ESB display without those specific ESB details and tries to tell you that both came from untainted original molds, well I would question ANYTHING that person says because it's clear they have no clue what details should and shouldn't be on certain casts. I surely wouldn't listen to the same person who now wants to tell me about what should and shouldn't be on a ANH faceplate based on only having one cast from one mold where some of us have multiple authentic casts from multiple authentic molds from around the world.
Don't believe the hype and do your homework folks. In the end, the answer is crystal clear.
