What pre-shipment photos should I expect from a trustworthy seller?
Hoarden's Buyer Promise requires pre-shipment photos on items over €100 — typically 3-5 angles: the box front, the figure with a hand-written note showing the order number and date, an edition-number macro shot where applicable, and any factory marks. Demanding similar from any secondary-market seller is the strongest single authentication signal pre-purchase.
