Well, answer 1 would be my palitoys which are in another limnelight. Answer 2 would be the german cardbacks, just 1 to get on that and they look like palitoys!

Fantastic collection of cardbacks Jason.

Some really rare ones there, which don't come up for sale that often if at all.

 

[Pomse2001]

Wow great update, you have such a cool cardback collection :shock:

:lol: That made me chuckle. Hats off to you, Jason... outstanding. A couple of hours could easily slip by looking at this lot: fascinating to see the variations worldwide. I'm finding it difficult to pick an overall favourite (apart from your Palitoys in the other thread), but I do keep returning to the Meccano's... something about that square cardback

Awesome collection of card backs....unbelievable.

I question I have been dying to ask so I would now....how long did it take to get to this level of range and variety?

Really something to aspire to.....

I started on Palitoy cardbacks in 2005. You can see them here:-

I started on the ones shown here maybe a year later. They used to be much easier to pick up on ebay then and much less pricey than they are now.
There seem to be more cardback collectors round these days.

Coming on nicely

I've only just clicked on to this thread. Jason - I'm really impressed with the array of foreign card backs. I never bothered collecting them and it's great to see someone making them a focus.

The Canadian variation is one I hadn't seen before and I'd pick them out as my personal favourite.

I wish you all the best in completing these sets.

I'm kinda happy I don't see an 8D8 there but at the same time sad because it means you need one

Nice set!

 

[scott82]

Very nice focus, some fine pieces :evil:

Great collection Jason where do you get the cases from? I'm at a dead end with my MOC run at the moment mainly due to finance. But your thread inspired me to get my cardbacks from childhood down from the loft. Superb collection.

They are 6x9 toploaders. Ultra Pro and BCW are the 2 main brands. They are difficult to get outside of the USA. Postage costs from the USA are a pain, and then there is
import duty on top of that. If you are after a few, I got a bulk order in recently and have been selling them within the UK in smaller quantities. PM me if you are interested.

cheers Jason

 

[mr_palitoy]

Oh, and childhood cardbacks. Very nice! It's unusual to see that as most of them got binned, my own included!

[theforceuk]

Thanks but staying focused on my MOC run at the moment, if I change my mind I no who to contact. :wink: Been wandering what toploaders were for a while. :roll: :lol: :lol: I have added my cardback collection to my showcase thread if your interested.
