Nice cards Michael. Joe what's the story behind the 8d8 proof, how come it never got passed proof stage?

 

[Grant_C]

The line ended.

 

[michifromhell]

Congrats Joe, great addition

 

[aussiejames]

I wondered what you were cashing up for Joe, now I know :wink:
Great piece.

 

[Pomse2001]

Awesome proof you have received Joe. I thought you had everything with 8D8 :shock:

So is there still anything left with 8D8 that you are missing :?:

 

[Joe]

Wow guys I didn't think there would be this many comments lol! Thank you! I could write a novel about this proof card and what it means to me but that would bore the pants off of you all :lol:

Joe that is very cool. Never seen this before. So are there many examples of this card/character combo? In proof/pre-prod form etc?
Nice catch. 8)

Thanks Pete! I know of about 3 common POTF proof cards (common means it is the closest thing to a production cardback, has a punch etc), there is apparently a POTF cromalin out there too but never seen it. This particular POTF proof is the only one that I have ever seen or heard about that has a blank back, no punch and four squared corners, it's pretty sweet as far as proofs go.

Nice cards Michael. Joe what's the story behind the 8d8 proof, how come it never got passed proof stage?

Cheers Benny, as Grant said - The line died before Kenner managed to get all the figures released on POTF cards. There is a great list of POTF proof cards that shows all of the produced and unproduced POTF figures here - http://theswca.com/images-packa/potf-chart.html

Awesome proof you have received Joe. I thought you had everything with 8D8 :shock:

Lol I don't have everything unfortunately, there are a lot of things I am missing, I have a list here: http://forum.rebelscum.com/t1040053/

Thanks again guys!

Oh and Michael, lovely cards! Like that R2

 

[Pomse2001]

[benny100]

Good haul, Ben... that TIE Fighter Pilot MOC really is a thing of beauty 8)

Nice Proof Joe, about time you showed off some wicked white skinny droid stuff again. Chuffed for you mate.

 

[Pomse2001]

[sith-smith]

Some great buys folks 8)

 

[Bramistuta25]

Have been taking/taken a break after some recent events. Some great buys guys. Loads of additions!

I must say (as most have) Joe's POTF 8D8 proof is simply awesome! I think it must be the photoart that sits beautifully on the POTF card back?! Either way it is jaw droppingly good!

Massive congrats dude. I know you've been searching for years.

Some great, and I mean extraordinarily great acquisitions lately.

Gary, lovely miscards. I find myself thinking 'I hope Gary gets it' every time I see a miscard for sale. Just because I'm hoping to see them all together one day.

Joe, best buy ever. I know how picky you are and again and again it shows. I'm over the moon for you! 8)

Nick, you're such a vacuum cleaner. :lol: Some lovely new stuff again. Did you get the mint unused Palitoy LOTJ that was sold on ebay yesterday? It would be a consolation for me to know it went to you.

Given who the seller was (after having some shill bidding from him before) and the fact every bidder was "private" I pulled out - it eventually went for £580 - id be interested to know if he bid it up again and gave someone a second-chance option and he has done before.

I might have a different one in the pipeline, cheaper and MISB (unlike this one).

 

[benny100]

This arrived today, just like the popy I got recently i always wanted just the one, not starting a focus.

 

[skywalker]
