[QUOTE="mr_palitoy, post: 153367, member: 137"] Thanks for the info Darren. Have stuck up some new blurb and a couple of pics on my 12b page:- http://www.freewebs.com/mrpalitoy/sw12bcardback.htm [ATTACH=full]121085[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]121086[/ATTACH] "There have been quite a few examples of opened and sealed vinyl caped jawas on the 12B cardback showing up in the last few years.

Neither of these have been graded by AFA or UKG and until one is, there are still two camps who firmly believe or don't believe that vinyl caped jawas were ever sold on Palitoy cards.
