foreign cardbacks focus

[sith-smith]

The link between cardback and MOC is an odd one. I believe (Jason please correct me if I'm wrong) that there are a number of MOC for which no Cardback has yet been found!

There sure are. I've been looking for Hybrid CCP on cardback for years and seen several MOC come and go for sale in that time.
And I think you have a few Palitoy MOC that I haven't seen as cardback yet.

I may well do!! :wink:

I'm new to the scene and forgive my ignorance but I wouldn't have thought these would have been collectable ....

Russ- some cardbacks are the only examples of figures existing. Cardback collecting is a large part of the collecting scene. Some of the rare ones go for close to £1000. Some are rarer than pre-production items.

All good fun.

 

[sith-smith]

There also collectable simply because they were often easier to collect/store than moc

Ultimately for a lot of people it's the image of the card that matters and so this is a good way to go

They r like original mini posters with most of the card back being the picture they r just a diff class to the POTF 2 packaging and beyond its no wonder that true vintage card back collecting is so big today 8) 8)

Here's my cardback haul from C7.

Added a Luke to my Canadian GDE run. Just three to go now!

Have about twice as many Lili Ledy cardbacks in my run now. Must go to America more often.

Managed to pick up just over half of the Power of the Force cards on my first new cardback run.

Five more Droids and one more Ewoks to go on my second new cardback run.

Thanks for sharing

Got some great cardbacks from jimmy mindtricks.

Added a Rebel Commander to my Clipper ESB run.

Added an Ugnaught to my yellow clippers.

Nothing new here, but have separated out my black clipper with white backs.

A few new black clipper with black backs for this run.
