What a bummer!!
Personally I'd leave it as it is. The case is sealed so proves it was once a Squid on a Ree-Yees cardback with the wrong weapon.

I'd leave it as it is and if possible shuffle it back into the bubble or at least upright so it can be displayed. Is still a cool oddity.

What a total shitter my friend, I would also leave as is as it shows what a great card it was/is
With experience you realise that those miscard bubbles aren't meant to travel 
Sorry Slim..not much you can do on this one, in all honesty I'd just break it out of the case, slide the figure back in and put it in an acrylic case. At least it wouldn't look so miserable flapping about in the AFA case like he does now.

That's terrible to see that Lionel, I'd echo what Joe said, break it out and repair it best you can and pop it in a acrylic case.
As for value, that's a tough one. It's obviously never going to be as valuable as it was when it was sealed but it's definitely still worth something and at least in this case you can prove with pictures that all parts are original if you were to sell it on in the future.
I'd say if you put it back together it would probably be worth about £60-80 which is reasonable given the damage. It could still make a nice display piece for someone who couldn't find or couldn't afford a sealed one.
Bad luck

thanks for the words chaps :wink: , i had sold this to another collector / forum member and even though it was very well wrapped this happened , when i bought this graded moc myself i was going to break it out of its tomb " now i wish i had " . you can do nothing to stop this happening with graded mocs and as another forum member already posted can these grading firms not attach an extra piece of acrylic to strenghen the bubble area ESP in the case of these miscards which use finer / weaker bubbles !
i cant even bear to look at it to be honest , if anybody wants to buy it pm me

I wonder if this piece could be resubmitted to AFA. Say under the Q-Tier and maybe ask them to just simply place the figure back in its bubble and place it back where it should be. Then ask if AFA will put in some extra protection acrylic round the outside of the bubble like they do with some Uzay MOC's all tho I'm not sure if they will consider this since the bubble is fully detached. If they do you could have them mention it in a COA that the bubble has become loose. but its still a very displayable Miscard.
Might be worth a try, who knows. Shame as its a nice item.
