[plantman]

Ron,

The original Luke 12 back proof was for sale ungraded on RS for $1800 about a month ago.

Cheers.

Grant.

PS I think when the 12 back proof cards come up for sale they are all worth around £1000 each but i could be wrong.

So depends on the character.
Luke seems to be the most common by far hence the entry level price :roll:
These things have waiting lists rather than come on the open market.
A breakdown of 12 and 20 back proof numbers is given here:

Finally got myself an ESB Boba Fett, its i great shape but got a grade 75, (i have been severely dissapointed with some gradings from the AFA of late)

The card is fantastic, the bubble does have a ding on the front, the figure has faded limbs, however the bubble is clear and the fading is on all sides of the limbs so im guessing its not sunlight exposure (hence clear bubble) and the fact the sun probably wouldnt fade the back of his legs.

I was thinking it was factory faults from production? what do you guys think?

Anyway, i love it and got it at a reasonable price.

 

[tiefighterboy]

Looks nice. I would have removed the price tag though If I was to send it to AFA,(Like I would ever do that :lol: )

Nice Fett Plantman 8)

My Fett on 41D has the same problem :- http://www.landoslocker.com/range_starwars/images/boba_fett_1/boba_carded_41d.jpg

I used to believe that it was a proper variation and now I think it has something to do with the plastic deteriorating. :?

Nice Fett Plantman 8)

My Fett on 41A has the same problem :- http://www.landoslocker.com/range_starwars/images/boba_fett_1/boba_carded_41d.jpg

Yeah it would be interesting to find out wouldnt it, if the plastic did deteriorate wouldnt the colors on the arms and knees fade as well? as they still look pretty crisp, it looks like they had a color mismatch with the hollow hard body and the solid limbs...im going to try and find out

I would say the fact that the limbs are made from a much softer plastic than the torso is probably a factor in the deterioration.

Just take a look at figures like the Green limbed Chewbacca:- http://www.landoslocker.com/range_starwars/images/chewbacca_1/chewbacca_hk_green_limbs.jpg

Pink limbed Leia Organa's, Yellow limbed Luke Farmboys, Yellow limbed Stormtrooper, Yellow limbed Hoth Stormtrooper and green limbed Wickets:- http://www.landoslocker.com/range_rotj/images/wicket/nocoo_green.jpg

I've also seen fading with Bossk and Luke X-Wing too:-

Sorry I don't have pics of the other handy but I'm sure you've seen them before and know what I mean. :wink:

 

[**Delboy75**]

It seems to be a problem with ESB released boba's , i have boba in baggie (ESB-A) and he has the same problem. Every other boba in a ESB-A baggie i have ever seen has had faded limbs too.
There was a discusion on scum ages ago regarding it.
