My 77 back Kenobi is suspect....

[Lavaeolus]

Hi guys long term lurker here. Thought it was about time to start participating as there is a lot of interesting topics coming up all the time.

I have a small but growing Ben Kenobi focus which includes a whole manner of things as well as figures, bookmarks, pins, marbles to name a few but saw this 77 back and thought what the hell it looks nice enough.

Well it arrived the other day and I am getting increasingly suspicious that it is a recard.

I was hoping some of you guys with far more wisdom than I could give me their two cents.

I will list a few of the suspect things that might not be clear on the listing and if some guys could advise that would be great.

*The bubble has a small piece of misc debris inside it.
*Marked on the card is the 'waffle' pattern above where the bubble is attached.
*The bubble is 'wavy' on the left hand side where attached rather than dead straight.

Any advise would be appreciated (If this post is in the wrong place please don't hesitate to delete this is my first post!)

Regards

James

So what makes u think it could b a recard James?
Looks totally legit to me too :!:

Welcome James - that wavy edge to the bubble is very common. I always thought it was due to too much heat in the sealing process. Nice Ben!

As above, looks good to me. And as spoons says, the waviness is caused by the heat sealing, or rather too much of the heat sealing. I can see why you were a little nervous about it though: the hand tag hole is on the wonk and the seal at the top of the bubble is very narrow. But overall it's good.

I've got a 77 back Ben which has the exact same problem, not that it's a problem!
