Hi gents, not really sure if anyone would reply, but I got a seller from Hong Kong that has one up for sale. Only thing is, it's an AP (#____ of 280). Problem is, there is no "AP" on it but a blank space only. So just wondering if any of you have had any experiences or have encountered something like that. I'm, of course, feeling skeptical of the authenticity. Then again, I'm pretty sure there aren't any "fakes" of this piece, right? Right?

Any help would be greatly appreciated before I bite the bullet. Thanks so much.

I’d be weary of overseas sellers on eBay, just last week I contacted eBay about a frodgelent listing from China selling a Bowen black panther museum piece that I had just bid on the month before. They used the original sellers pics as their own so I knew something wasn’t right, the listing was pulled by eBay shortly after.

Yeah, i hear you, mate. I'm being very very cautious about it. Seller has a 100% approval rating on 280 counts so that's at least a good sign. And he has been very, very communicative via DMs.

I've done my research on the APs and I was at first skeptical about the piece being numbered to 280 but thanks to the thread, I discovered that the additional 30 was for the APs. This piece being unmarked (and without the original box) does put a sliver of skepticism on my part though.

But he is willing to give it to me for a very good price so I might just take the plunge.

Yes,

Bowen did do Marvel samples. I have ~20 that I purchased directly from a marvel source 6-7 years ago.

They were made from the same factories as the production run and are basically "artist proofs" that were send to marvel for approval.
