So ive been spending time doing cardback rebuilds, Palitoy only. I didn't want to have to shell out the big bucks for the display but wanted to get the same look and nostalgia again. The price tag adds to it too and they don't look bad on display. The card,bubble and footer are all original but I had to do a small bit of repair using a print out of the area torn. These will not be moving anywhere, and you can tell they have been repaired.

Just so that everyone knows, I don't do repro or fakes in anyway, shape or form.

Looks great Lee, a big place for this in the hobby IMO

I did my first one recently too, and hope you don't mind me posting here. I'll redo the name plate at a smaller scale soon and the bubble is stuck down on one side only so the figure is removable. No way I'll ever own a sealed one so this is the next best thing for me.

Great work gents, can't wait to see some more :D

This is an old picture of mine but I mounted these two seal polity 12 back cut cards to their card backs. It took me ages trying to find the right card back with very little damage so that I could mount these but it's the closest I have now to owning a sealed moc of them and they were both polity 12 back cut cards so everything's as it should be.

I'll take some better pictures at some point with my other reseals.
