Latest Acquisitions

Great stuff Barry- almost feels like a ESB Palitoy run is possible.

 

[timbo72]

Some great new additions guys

 

[Pomse2001]

Amazing haul, Lars. And Ryan, that's a superb 40th birthday present, one to treasure, that's for sure.

Fantastic Pali reseal, Grant- I was watching this one, and I'm glad to see it's gone to a good home. Ryan, Chewie is in good hands :wink:

Hi Martin, thanks for the kind words

 

[Pomse2001]

A couple of my latest ESB backs

First is the AtAt Driver bought on here as a cardback with loose figure/weapon. The card was destroyed at the bubble section so i've done a sympathetic repair which is undo-able. I've started using double sided tape instead of PVA so the repair can be undone and does not damage the original card.

Next is the AtAt Commander. Bought on Ebay as a Palitoy card/figure with loose original bubble. Bubble is just lightly taped on.

That is some nice cards you have repaired, great work. They look like new

 

[Dublinjeff]

Great stuff Barry, that at at driver looks fantastic.

 

[x-pack]

Cheers dudes

The AtAt Commander's bubble fell off earlier. Probably went a bit too sympathetic in my resto there. Needs more double sided tape

Thanks very much guys. As i said to Rob, might do a tutorial on what's involved with these restorations. Getting the black print right is proving to be a bugger but i'l get round that somehow 8)

These restorations are fantastic bud, you must do a tutorial buddy, I would, for one, really appreciate it, reseals and restoration are the way for me, for several reasons, cost obviously, but it also keeps the lower end Mocs away from the ugrade, and if anything reverses that practice in a small way

Love that AtAt driver he looks awesome, congrats bud super skills there mate

 

[Dublinjeff]

Couple of bits arrived in today to add to the collection. I have to say; Denis aka Stargeezer has been great to deal with and really helped when it came to adding such a stunning piece to my collection. Just can't stop lookin at it, I've even given it its own acrylic case for protection :lol:
Clipper Luke Farmboy 12 Back card

Here it is on display in my growing FB collection

 

[Dublinjeff]

Also snapped up this mint Canadian GDE 12 Back

 

[Grant_C]

Wow- I wish I had a Luke Farmboy focus.

This looks amazing mate- had no idea, glad you got that trilogo cardback now.

Except for a DT MOC what's the grail?

Meccano is going to be tricky.

Did they do a POTF Proof?

 

[Stargeezer]

glad they arrived safe and sound Jeff, i am sure they will be cherished in your collection. 8)

I think a grail for one with a luke farmboy focus would be the

luke caminacielos

 

[BlueDog]

Awesome additions Jeff, that's two of my old pieces in your collection now mate! Makes me think I should've gone with a Luke FB focus myself :lol:

This is a part of the hobby I enjoy, seeing something you used to own making it's way around the world to someone who'll appreciate it. That Clipper cardback journey over the last 12 months started in the US then Australia, Belgium and now to you in Ireland. God only know where it had been prior to that.

Hi Jeff, wow that is a very nice clipper luke cardbacks I also love the luke canadian cardback. They look great in your luke collection.

Congratulations Jeff :wink:

 

[Dublinjeff]

Hey fellas, Thanks for all the kind words. I'm absolutely chuffed to have added this to my little collection! Updated photos in my limelight thread

Grant, not sure about the 'Grail piece' yet...I'm a bit of a budget Luke Farmboy collector if that's even possible :lol: Don't think i will ever stretch to a four figure sum on a purchase. I have a couple of nice cards on the way and an Early bird loose figure on the way back from UKG. Over time I would like to upgrade my loose figures with mint, complete saber ones. Might stretch to a loose DT some time.

Dennis, thanks again for all your help! Absolutely great to deal with you. I saw that luke the other night. It's awesome in fairness. What's that worth? 1000's..?

Ryan, Thanks for that, its cool to have a bit of the history behind the card. It looks sweet alongside the 12 back

Lars, appreciate the comments!

 

[TC-14]

Hey Jeff, your Luke Farmboy focus is looking great already, and smashing to hear of the Clipper's journey... wonderful stuff 8)

 

[Spookedhippie]

Damn those farmboy Luke cardbacks are sweet!
