Evening chaps,

So the wife is away with the nipper they week at the outlaws, and I decided that I would sort through and catalogue my Mocs, in anticipation of FF this weekend as well as a few other deals I have in the pipeline. Whilst I had them out I decided that I would take a few snaps and update this thread as I hadn't done so in a while. Im quite happy with the direction I am taking my collection in. Hope you guys agree and enjoy.

First up, my Star Wars cards:

The C3PO and Sandperson are 12b's. The Palitoy Luke X Wing is one of my favourites. The Han is a 20c and the Snag a 21a

I don't seem to be very good at picking up ESB cards. Definitely something to focus on going forward. Need to find some offer less ones.

R2 is a 21a, another personal favourite. The Boba Fett is a 45a and The Cloud Car Pilot a 47

On the flip side of things, I seem to have an embarrassment of Jedi Cards.

Squid head, General Madine and Rebel Commando are 65c Palitoys, but not the iron on type. The TFP, Han Hoth, Logray and biker scout are 65s. Prune Face is a Kenner Canada Bilingual 65, and Paploo and Lumat are 79 back Made in Mexico Kenners, so the figures are Ledi.

All these figures are 77 back, with the exception of 8D8, which is a 79. I also have a 77 Ree Yees that must have been feeling a bit camera shy.

Now my Trilogos:

Really getting into these recently, particularly for the alternate photos. I don't normally like duplicating characters but I really like the Han alternate photo and the Lando General Pilot is one of my favourite figures.

I also have these:

The Bespin Guards are Trilogo hybrids. Im a big fan of these miscards and am trying to pick up more if anyone has any for sale at a reasonable price. The revenge proof is my only proof.

Finally, my POTF

I am quite pleased with the way this is going. I picked up a couple of random ones with the B Wing Pilot and Leia Endor, then set about the last 17. My aim for 2015 is to try to complete this mini run of last 17 on POTF, although I'm going to skip the Anakin and Yak as they are out of the price range I am willing to put down on my hobby. I may leave out Paploo and Lumat as they aren't really last 17 and I already have them on Jedi cards.

Hope you enjoy. If I have time on Friday I will try to update my loose collection.
 
I'm loving a bit of that Han Solo as well - if you want to shift him on then let me know

Other than that, you have some great cards there and it must be great to get them out of storage
 
Cheers guys.

I have been stocktaking today as well. The Yoda is I believe a 77A back. I'm not looking to move any of this stuff though.

The Han is my favourite, however it does have a bit of an unusual issue. It doesn't bother me, but it would probably bug the hell out of others. On the back of the card:

As you can see, the proof of postage has been removed for the mail away. It looks like it has been removed by a surgeon, but it has made a bit of a mess of the card back. I'm still quite fond of it though.

Incidentally, I happen to know the dealer who had this still has a 12 back Darth Vader that came as part of the same collection. The card is lovely and flat. The bubble is clear but has a small crease in it. I thought it was in overall great condition. I think the guy is after £300 or £350 (I cant remember exactly). It has the same problem as this card, i.e. the proof of purchase is removed in the same way. I really loved the figure, but baulked slightly at the price due to the damage to the card. Was I being too hasty? Would I have to pay hundreds more for one in good nick without the damage?

Any advice greatly received.
 
Proof of postage removable is one of those things that some collectors aren't bothered about (as long as it has just been done from the surface - and others hate

I know 12 back have been going for silly prices recently but I would say that £300-£350 for a POP removed Vader is probably top end

Looking at completed listing - you could have picked any of these up for around that price

Welcome To the forum.

That's a nice haul there you have had hiding away for the past ten years. Hopefully you are here to stick around and grow your collection which I am sure we will all enjoy :D

Cheers

I asked a couple of them if they could do a message. I didn't see what Carrie had written straight away as the officialpix police were busy herding me away, but it made me smile later on that day.
 
Ben that's a cracking collection. Some cards there that I am most envious of.
It's proof of purchase mate, not proof of postage.
I love the variety of figures and cards, that Han is great, and the Yoda, and the 3PO, and the Sand Person, and the Romba and the.....
