Picked this bad boy up today...... My 2nd Vintage carded Figure, Does that make it a real collection now...... Swapped it with a toy collector, I gladly parted with a couple of old 80's toys I had for it. What I like is the fact that it has both the 'Revenge of the Jedi' Akbar sticker and the new updated shop sticker that was supposed to go over it advertising the 'Return of the Jedi'.........Love the card back
Clearly they were just to lazy to put one over the other............... :lol:
1982, 48 Back, Empire Strikes Back, At-At Commander

Yeah Thanks mate, Delighted with it, First ESB Card. The other sticker is the one that is advertising the offer for a figure from the upcoming 'Return of the Jedi' movie. It's as if it should have been put over the Akbar sticker once the mistake was realised??, Its in English and French, I think... :? Nice quirk i thought to have both names of the 3rd Film on the card stickers, hadn't seen it before

Jeff,
Check this out:

It is possible this could have been destined to be a transitional card.... These are incredibly sort after and probably add a zero to the value of the card.
Is there any sign of a sticker being removed on the logo area?
Well done, incredible pick up!!

Translational cards are empire figures with an applied return of the Jedi logo sticker placed over the top.
They are very tough to find and sell for a fortune.
It looks like you have a Kenner USA card with a candian sticker on it.
For £30 you ain't going to loose out buddy. I would try taking a clearer picture and asking on rs as there are plenty of candian guys who are super knowledgeable on such items.

Nice one Jeff! Rather strange it looks like a US Kenner 48 back with a Canadian Return of the Jedi sticker on it, I am not the best person to ask if that's normal or not so I am not sure what to say but it does seem interesting.
I think the Canadian ESB cards only went to a 47 back as well? Strange!
US overstock sent to Canada? Or sticker switcharoo??
