Here we go....something else to spend my money on!!
A few months ago I bought an amazing childhood collection of 120 loose figures consisting of a the full 92 set of figures seen on a POTF cardback plus Yak. Most were complete and around 100 had their original card backs.
Most of the missing card backs were due to the figures being obtained through the mail away offers and a lot of the cards had their name tags removed to prove this!
I love this collection and the story behind it so I have kept it all. All missing weapons have now been replaced and are displayed together. The card backs are just stored in the folder I got them in.
A few weeks ago I started reading this thread again & started thinking....maybe I should pick up the few card backs I'm missing and then I'll have a full set of card backs... so this happened!
Sunday night eBay purchase from one seller. Worked out at £2.25 posted per card. Obviously not the best condition but will match the other card backs fine.
I'm going to collect the last few and then put them all in nice portfolio folders. Decided to stick to UK only cards, so Palitoy or Kenner with UK price tags but definitely no U.S. Price tags!
Cheers for the inspiration guys

Had a few new cardbacks over the last couple of weeks with still more on the way:
Got this holy grail piece. Never thought I'd own one but now finding the other SW 21 cards should be a fun challenge:
Thanks to J_G for this wonderful cardback that came today

That Meccano Luke is awesome, and the ESB 21 back just jogged my memory. PM on it's way to you Martin, hoping you still have the ESB 21bk Hammerhead for sale...

If you're only gonna have one, that is an absolute doozy. Good work.

Not looked on this thread for a while, not sure why some very nice cardbacks. That Zuckuss LL is amazing. :shock:
Love the Trilogos Pomse2001, nice the bubbles are still attached.
