Hi,

Just bought a MOC ESB 32bk Yoda for 65 quid but the bubble has a tiny crack where it's slightly crushed. Otherwise the cards near mint and bubble crystal clear. Have I wasted my cash?? :roll:
 
I'm not too sure about prices for ungraded MOC's, but if there is a crack in the bubble and the seller didn't tell you/put it in the description, I'd be tempted to ask for my money back (good excuse if it turns out you've over paid).
 
I paid $100 (inc shipping from the US) for this 32B with a crack :arrow:

And and $100 (inc shipping from the US) for this 41A with a crack :arrow:

Cracks and dents on the bubble don't bother me too much if the card and figure still display well :wink:
 
It does display really well. I actually said 'wow' when I unpacked it today.

My 32bk is like your 41bk but flatter :)
 
all down to personal taste really. i won't buy anything with a cracked bubble, but will happily have torn/creased cards. to me, a figure isn't sealed if it's cracked or lifting.

doesn't sound like too bad a price though, you'd probabloy pay Ã'£80+ for a real nice one.
 
It's just one of those things really. The seller says he didn't notice it before sending but not that it couldn't have already been there.
 
If you display for MOC's and this one looks good then I wouldn't worry about it. I don't like crushed bubbles but a very small dent or crack wouldn't bother me.

Yoda cards seem quite expensive, especially ESB ones.
 
When i collected moc figures small cracks didnt bother me. As long as the figure could not be removed and the card was in good condition. If i had of carried on collecting them i probably would of upgraded a few but its a good way of getting a complete colection quite cheaply.
 
i personally try not to get moc with cracked bubbles, just my preferance. but i suppose if your happy with the actual figure and it doesnt notice that much, i wouldnt worry about it.
