Some nice new pickups for me...

This one was actually a sour deal bought from a complete nutjob on here :roll: ... looks ok and got a 75 from Steve at UKG

 

[Jez]

Sorry to hear that you experienced a sour deal on here Rob.
It looks great though, i absolutely love that cardback. One i will get one day, i'm sure. Nice one

 

[TC-14]

That's a super looking card, Rob. I remember that whole debacle regarding the seller- always good to hear of a decent outcome. Hats off to you, Sir!

 

[Grant_C]

Whats a Y75?

 

[Jez]

Yellow bubble 75 dude

EDIT: this is a dear diary moment; I've just taught Grant something about Star Wars collecting!!

 

[TC-14]

I was wondering that. Perhaps a YES 75% ?

 

[Grant_C]

Yellow bubble.........?


Really?

We have 'U' and now 'Y' whats next?

 

[rob71]

Thanks guys, I quite like it now that it's in acrylic, I was thinking before I received it of selling it on but I think I'll be keeping it now. To be honest the yellow is so slight its hardly noticeable.

Photobucket are having "down time" at the moment, will post pics of my other goodies once its back up.

Shhhhhh Grant! The U Graders will catch on and start leaving Bubbles in the sun to get a higher Y Grade, makes just as much sense as striving for a "U" in my opinion.

Cracking AT-AT Commander Rob sorry you had to go through so much BS with that bloke.

No need to cali Iain a nut job!!!!! :lol:

Seriously though, that guy was a complete prick. I wouldnt sell it on just because of that, it looks sweet and displays nicely so a great addition Rob.

 

[rob71]

Thanks for the kind words chaps

Here's the other item I had back from UKG, scored an 80 but looks spot on to me. My first German MOC

This one was an ebay purchase that was sent from the UK but ended up going to Norway of all places! Really happy with this one especially for £40, and still has the complete sticker sheet.

 

[timbo72]

That Scout walker is the business

 

[skywalker]

@Rob - Fantastic pick ups mate the at-at driver looks awesome,, 3 really nice items there..

 

[Bramistuta25]

@Bram - Here we go again hey :lol: :lol: ,, so what's the goal this time mate..?? cracking proofs though mate.

Hi buddy,

Yep, here we go again. This time will be much more difficult though!

Short term goal is a 20c back SW Proof and a ROTJ Proof to complete a mini set.

Long term includes everything pre production really but it will probably take one of two focus collectors wanting to sell up I think.

If I hit a wall (which us pretty likely) then clear bubble mint production card versions and known loose variants.

I'm also looking into some prints from Kim Simmons.

Cheers.

Bram

 

[slim]

more excellant buys everybody :wink: , makes me wish i was rich

 

[Pomse2001]

Some more Palitoy cardbacks to add to my first 20 collection... with a few doubles which I'll sell on to help pay for these latest purchases :lol: . A real shame that the C-3PO card has had the top part sliced off- it would have been a superb example otherwise Luke X-WIng Pilot is a favourite, my main reason for going for this lot at auction (apologies for bidding against you, Stevie- I'll let you know which cards I'm going for in future :wink: ).

And a cheeky little ESB card, just so that I've got at least one... I've always loved that chunky logo at the top.

wow Martin that is some amazing palitoy cardbacks :shock:

 

[Pomse2001]

Another figure for Jabba's crew

Hi Tim, nice Boba Fett figure :wink:

Name and shame Rob! What was the problem?

 

[jedi_masters]

Can't remember the guys name but started off good, asking for valuations am stuff. But then when people questioned his packaging and various bits he got nasty and became a complete arse.

 

[jedi_masters]

Love the soaps and pen tops Grant, are you going to try and fill that soap tray??

awesome cards Rob, they look really nice.

Some nice cardbacks added to your collection Martin, looks nice and smart.
