@Skywalker: Nice ROTJ Mocs glad you have the collecting bug again. I really like the Squid moc, once I start on the mocs that's def going to be my 1st one.

@X-Pack: another nice purchase my friend :mrgreen: even thou the Darth is a beater it's still awesome, love the survival kit sticker. R5 has always been one of my favs also, plus IMO the ESB logo is the best

@Timbo72: cool mancave update like the Stallone Cobra pic, is it signed? Jabba set looks ace, need one of those myself soon. The Lego's are sweet also, speeder bike is cool.

Thanks June. I love both these cardbacks. The survival back is also a good 'un 8)

I heard Sandcrawlers always been your favorite :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[theslider]

Lots of awesome buys. Needless to say I am loving Nick's Palitoy Jawas the best!

Just some card backs for me in lieu of the carded figs:

All the card backs together. Originally was only going to get a card back where I couldn't get a carded figure (due to funds), but I'm planning on getting a the first twelve Palitoys and then framing them.

 

[TC-14]

Excellent pick ups, chaps. There's some Palitoy goodness going on there, Stevie :mrgreen: Brill! :wink:

Cheers buddy

It's bordering on being a beater, the Vader. It's more than good enough for me

I am well pleased with both

Thanks guys 8)

@Theslider: Nice cardback pick up's I seeeeeeee that ESB Luke Bespin :lol:

 

[Pomse2001]

Hi theslider, nice lot of cardbacks :shock: There is so many there that I want :wink:

 

[x-pack]

My latest - Chewie 41 back. The bubble has been cut open and the pop removed but it looks ok. Just checking that this looks legit to you guys as the black print has a green hue which i haven't seen before. The bubble looks to be all original with the cross hatching. Print seem sharp enough compared to my other 41 backs. It's just the green that threw me.

I'll do a bit of tidying up with this one and i reckon it'll display really well.

 

[jambobbyb]

Nice chewie X-Pack I can only watch from the sidelines at present as I am broke.

 

[Palifan]

Nice pick up x-pack and I used to have a 12 back Chewie with the same green tint. It was an AFA one and it didn't seem to effect the grading at all although it never felt quite right to me because of this strange print. In the end a sold it with the other first 11 as a job lot but I still have a slightly beat up 12 back that has the normal shade of print on it. I'm guessing there must have been a period in the factory where one of the inks was running a bit low. Still, great pick up and another one down for you!

[x-pack]

Thanks for that. I figured it must be something to do with the ink running low as our work printers do that. Chewie is indeed another one down, but it's getting tough to find them now. Had some luck in the last couple of weeks but the prices are getting a little higher. There's probably a few that i just won't be able to get hold of, such as Fett and Luke farmboy. Whatever happens i'm really enjoying collecting these ESB backs

 

[Jedi_june]

Nice Chewie moc X-Pack

 

[Pomse2001]

Nice chewbacca on card x-pack, even with the bubble has been cut open and the pop removed :shock:

Looking very great :wink:

 

[db94]

Got these today -

Really nice R2 baggie from chazb73 - cheers Andy delighted with him, looks great in an acrylic case next to 3PO

Also had this Gamorrean Guard delivered today

Bubble is crystal clear, ding/dent free and card itself is perfect - but...............
The cardback is out of line, the picture isn't centred. There is a white line running down the left and the right is chopped off?

I have no reason to doubt the seller as I have bought from them before with no issues but I admit I am no expert when it comes to moc's. This is only my third. I have compared it to all my old cardbacks but none look like this.
Here's a close up of the seal

So have I added a beautiful moc to my collection with a slight printing issue (which I kinda like as long as it's genuine) or have a bought a homemade recard :shock:

Oh just to be 100% clear it was only R2 that chazb73 sent not Gam Guard - just in case it's dodgy!
Eagerly awaiting your replies and wisdom - be gentle I'm only learning!

 

[skywalker]

@Theslider - Some lovely cardbacks you have there, I use to collect cardbacks and really I enjoyed it..

@Xpack - Nice chewie mate how many Moc's do you have now..??

@Db94 - It looks good to me mate,, As you have said just likely to be a printing an issue the whole batch would have come out like that so there may be a few more out there... Lovey Droid baggies mate..

 

[Pomse2001]

Hi Colin, wow great baggies and a nice moc. Gamorrean Guards are so cool, I loved to play with him when I was a kid :lol:

 

[Jedi_june]

@DB94: Nice Baggie Droids & the gam guard is cool. One of the coolest mocs.

wow michael nice items mate and you can compete with that awesome palitoy catalog :wink:

 

[x-pack]

@Xpack - Nice chewie mate how many Moc's do you have now..??

Not sure to be honest. I counted them off against a 31 back the other day and had, well ...quite a few. There are more in my collection up to 45 backs as well. Just collecting the lot on ESB's really. Haven't got them all displayed at the moment because i ran out of cases. Got loads waiting to be set out. Way more than half way there but there are quite a few ESB backs that are hard to come by at budget level. Can see myself just getting the cardbacks for the harder ones such as Boba Fett.
