That's amazing. Love the foreign 12 backs. Im surpriced that so few collectors focus on luke.

Hi Jeff, wow some more cool farmer luke cardbacks. So many favorites 8)

 

[Dublinjeff]

Latest cardback. Australian 'Myer' shop 41 back.

Jeff this collection has exploded in the last 2 months, well done.
So how many more are you after?
What's the significance of the Myer?
Any examples of the Harbert that you know of?
What's your favourite?

Thanks mate,

Still after a Takara card. Also a square meccano cardback. But both of those will cost a bit
Favorite at the moment is the Meccano card.

Having done some research it appears that the Myer shop sticker is from an Australian store which was only supplied by the Toltoys company. Just something a little different!

That square Mecanno is going to be so tricky to get. Never seen one for sale.

Gonna have to crack in the overtime.

Have you contacted Stephane Faucourt? He'd be my first stop. :wink:

Excellent idea Grant. Mr Faucourt is the Meccano oracle!

[TheGent]

Heartwarming. Really great stuff, man those foreign must have been pretty expensive! How much is such a nice example of a Toltoys?

 

[Dublinjeff]

Yep, the foreign cards command top dollar! Dearer than most standard MOC figures. There is a Takara card on eBay at the moment €125.....

 

[Simply Sci-fi]

Outstanding! This collection would look fantastic in one big frame under glass.

I hope you complete the collection one day - and then you can start on another character?

Craig.
