Is there a definitive price guide for cardbacks?

[pizzathehutt]

They are very popular at the moment.

but prices seem to be all over the shop, i noticed a couple of yak cardbacks go on here between 5-10 pounds but then i saw one go on ebay the other week for £30?

tri logo cards have risen of late as have pali logo cards there the highest ive seen :shock: since ive been collecting cbs. 12bks kenner have risen too. if you wanna sell cbs now is the time :lol:

prices are all over the place at the moment. what one card is worth today will be different in a couple of months for cbs at the moment.

Forum prices and eBay prices will always be different, sellers on forums tend to price things reasonably and eBay bidding can get a bit out of hand if two people are stubborn and don't want to lose!

There is no real price guide for cardbacks, generally speaking if the variation is hard to find in carded form then the same can be said for the cardback so the price reflects the rarity most of the time.

Common cardbacks are plentiful but condition varies extremely, anything neat with a sliced bubble is going to be worth more than one that's been folded over, badly ripped from opening etc.

Good question.

Simple answer no

But as a general rule

Palitoy logo cardbacks sell for considerably more though than standard Kenner and non logo Palitoy cardbacks. Saying that foreign cardbacks sell for even more, basically because they are harder to find. Poch/PBP along with the rarer Meccano's, Toltoys, Harberts and Ledys command 3 figures easily.

Trilogo's tend to command more than standard cardbacks

Cut bubbles on clean cardbacks will always command a premium.

Your Greedo would be worth quite a bit except it's not 'clean' having the nameplate cut out devalues it considerably

I'd say it's worth around £10 in that condition
