i collected a full set of cardbacks and did some repairs (its my first-time) , ive found out just through trying it out but as you can see from the photos the worst ones i did with my printer , but the better ones i did by cutting original cards and peeling the top layer from the card and sticking it to a damaged bit , this ive found is the best method as it is the nearest you can get, anyway they are all original cards there is a mix of recarded and moc ,,,,,see if you can tell the difference ???? which is which ? some are really ovious and some are not so ! this is just the start as i intend to complete the set ! does anyone have any ideas to what these alone would be worth ??

My guess would be they are all recards apart from R5D4, Klaatu, Weequay and possibly Paploo :?:

In that case they're all recards - the R5 looks very good though :?:

Why would anyone get a resealed Klaatu or Weequay - the originals are only Ã'£10 :?:

i did some repair work from my printer, ive got copys of the original cardbacks on disc, i printed whichever i needed then cut out the part that was damaged and stuck it to the original card,none of them are copy cards there all the real thing !! the ugnaught is the most noticable cause the name was cut from the card so i had to replace the card underneath, anyways, what do you think they are worth ?

no idea ,depends how you list them.if you state there recards you should get between a loose figure and a carded figure price

the logray fooled me, because of the tears under the bubble - makes it look resealed

As to value, I thought recarded figures were worth just a little bit more than loose ones :?:

I was thinking the same Bollux, I thought most were re-seals or had had the bubbles re-attached, but a few fooled me.
No idea's about price, like Jabba says it depends how you list them. If you wanna be a bastard list them as vintage etc and hope you get an idiot who'll not notice or won't send it back.

The best paper to use is epson matt stickyback photopaper. The colours come up an exact match to the original and allways use expensive ink not cheap ink because cheap ink will fade after about a year.
