Thank you

Got these 2 Irish ESB Sticker Wrappers.

Believe them to be the rarest of the Star Wars Vintage Wrappers (or the Costa Rican). They contained the 'Initals' stickers from the Topps ESB Card packs.

Any additional info would be great.

Thanks.

Maluster, the bubble gum tasted great (thats the only info i have) :lol:

Some great & obscure items popping up on the thread now & nice to see members for long a go posting new items with a revitalization of interest for the hobby.

Not my usual thing, but for some reason I always wanted one & I don't even like coke unless its in a bottle or in

form

thanks to Todd for being a star boy & knocking the sticker up for me & thanks to Scott for the beater R2 to put it on, worked out well as the R2 had a repro sticker on it already so I feel less guilty about the dreaded deed, though having done it I wonder if it would have looked even better on an R5 unit due to the colour.

 

[maniac79]

That looks fantastic though I second your thought on it maybe looking better on a R5 and R2 would look great with a Pepsi sticker. :lol:

 

[tiefighterboy]

It would have looked better with a Pepsi logo

Big thanks to Steve at UKG. I know some of you guys are just starting MOC's. They look amazing in acrylic. Steve is your man.

So here is a Spanish Luke Skywalker on a British card with an American Bubble:

11 MOC's to go for a full set of 97. :shock:
