very cool, i love the look of that aged yellow tape...these real vintage-tfs have a certain aged-authenticity that really appeals to my japanese blood. and man, those mysterious "PEL" springer boxes just add onto the mystery. i'm certain you've done it and i don't want to annoy the seller but have you messaged him with questions about his stash? i would love to find out more and see if his uncle had saved any sort of documentation or invoice for the source on these.
I didn't ask him too many questions, actually. You should pester him about these. I didn't want to be too aggressive back when I was asking, because I was trying to buy some from him (didn't end up happening), and didn't want to turn him off from doing a deal with me by annoying him. Let me know what you find out! -Jeff
What is that big black spot on prime's trailer in the auction photos? Is that on the window or the toy itself? Isn't Billylove on these boards as well?
