I swear I have seen this card multiple times over the years. Theres an AT-AT Commander just like it doing the tours.

I bought it a good year and a half ago from Jordan H when I was building a beater MOC run of the first 12. Tried to (unsuccessfully) remove some of the mold from it, and then sold it off soon thereafter. It's a hot potato!

Thanks guys and Ross, it means a lot coming from Mr Display :)

That's "Dr. Display." I didn't go to display medical school for four years to be called "mister." :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

jordan henborough? And then you ross barr- well that just adds more character to it. Its been through some more collectors hands since. A well travelled tusken indeed

Curious to see if Ross remembers what he paid to see if there has been much inflation on it. I know I paid £45, as did the guy I bought it from and that is precisely what I charged Chris for it.

Mr Spoons :shock:
I am loving the second series Die cast header.
I nearly bought Jim Stevensons a couple of years back when I last visited him.
Was holding back from asking his Son Andy about it since Jim got poorly but understand he has sold his example too.
I'm not having much luck locating one :roll:

Am absolutely loving seeing your two together, I am not jealous by any means sir :wink:

Andy, these are fantastic! As a display collector, I don't think there is much else that compares to the visual appeal of the store displays, especially the early, SW ANH ones with the black background and the iconic racetrack.

Couldn't agree more.
 
Looks like water damage or damp has got to the card - nice to see it survive though!

Andy, holy crap mate, those bin headers are the mutts nuts mate. Your die cast collection is really on another level now.

I believe I paid around $80 USD and sold it for around the same price. So it's actually been devalued since I owned it. Or because I owned it. :D

What are the little spots on the card is that a sign of dampness? Or some sort of fungus?

It was mold on it, and the litho loss was because I tried to remove the mold with a bit of water and unintentionally removed more litho than mold. Bad mistake.

That's very nearly £250 with the current exchange rate :lol:

Nice one Chris - I've been looking for one of those for a long time too they are very hard to find!
 
Andy, way to go with the bin headers. Bloody brilliant find. Chris, love the Han. I haven't got a mouldering legs one yet and one of each is very cool.
