Very nice piece!
I have a soft spot for Chirpa personally, it's odd, but I really like how he fitted (and still fits) in my hand!

I was really chuffed when it arrived in really good condition. Thank you.

Thank you. The only thing with it were pencil markings (luckily) so I easily rubbed them out without any damage...

Nice one Ricky- they look fantastic!

It was a good weekend for me all round as the Cardbacks arrived safe and sound , looking better in the hand then I imagine ! And then watched West Ham beat Watford to give us a very important 3 points!

Thanks Ricky.

Here are the final lot of my latest acquisitions, my Chirpa run. (Including the previous Clipper).

Unfortunately and sadly the two first ones (Meccano and Clipper Double-stem bubbles) semi-detached (sounds like a house) from the cardbacks in transit. Both were in AFA and UKG casing (Clipper still in case) but no bubble guards in place.

Micro-Meccano - Double-stem bubble
Clipper - Double-stem bubble
Clipper - Standard bubble
Clipper - Mini Catalogue
Palitoy - Standard bubble
Palitoy - Tri-logo bubble
Kenner - Made in Mexico

AFA case opened, cleanly done...

Really nice run. They look amazing together.

Thank you subzero. Despite the bubble lifts I was really lucky to find them all in such a short space of time.

Awesome set but hope you do not mind me asking - but what is a double stem bubble?

A double stem bubble has two stems rather than one at the base of the bubble to aid the card to stand up.

Not seen them before but then again, didnt even know how varied the cardbacks are until i started here.

Everyday a learning day. Thanks mini99!
