Would a reproduction translite have a white back? Is this different from an original?
I had a repro i got off of eBay a few years back. Looked the same except it was a thicker plastic that it was printed on. Still folded, but yes it was white on the back. Besides the art being washed out in a few places, it wasn't a bad replacement.
I bought one of the reproductions from that well known seller, absolute piece of crap and never used it. Yes had a white back, was way too dark and yet washed out.

I bought one that was poor quality also. I wonder if it was the same seller.

No doubt, seems to sell at lot of inferior products!

You take what you can get sometimes, and a repro for this, given the title, likely is not happening.
Waa this seller from Australia? I got a repro Darth Vader topper from him and I am pretty sure he sells translites as well
So the reason I asked was, I recently sold my Star Wars and the buyer was curious to know if the translite on the game was original or not.
The repro one I bought was from Romania. This was a couple years ago so maybe his newer ones are better. I complained and he sent me a different version (one had white backing, other didn't) and that one was bad too. So I just gave up.
I had been looking and looking for one until I saw this alternate one pop on up eBay recently and snagged it. I absolutely love it! It is beautiful and looks great in the game.

I bought his LAH tl and it is very nice. Rich colors and lights up nicely. Am happy with the buy.

No from the US. Looks better in the photo misses a lot of detail, looks dark and the colours washed out.
